A life insurance policy is owned in the insured’s qualified retirement plan. A total of $50,000 was paid in premiums and at the insured’s death it had a cash value of $100,000 and a death benefit of $250,000. Assume that the insured was annually taxed on the reportable economic benefit cost (REB) for the amount of death benefit the insured could designate a beneficiary for and that upon the insured’s death $100,000 is paid to the plan and $150,000 is paid to the insured’s named beneficiary. How much of the death benefit will be subject to income tax?
