Ark. Code R. 26-51-404 - 1(b)(3) (1997) - Life Insurance Proceeds

Proceeds of life insurance policies paid by reason of death of the insured to his/her estate or any beneficiary either in a lump sum or otherwise, except a transferee for valuable consideration, is excluded from the gross income of the beneficiary. Interest paid on the proceeds is included in gross income.

Transferees for valuable consideration and recipients, paid due to reasons other than insured death, of life insurance, endowment, or annuity contracts include in gross income the proceeds and interest that are in excess of the total consideration, premiums, and other sums paid to obtain the contract.
