Why do I need my life insurance
policy value?
Depending on the circumstances, many gifts or transactions
involving life insurance policies, including policies held in
qualified plans, need to be reported to the IRS. The fair
market or cash value of the life insurance policy must be
established at the time the transaction occurs. If an audit of
the tax return occurs, the valuation report will substantiate
the value reported.
