It worked before. . .
Tax rates were high in the 1940’s – 1970’s
Tax rates dropped dramatically in the 1980’s
Lower retirement income meant lowerretirement tax rate
With pensions and Social Security, retireesdidn’t own the assets and, therefore, didn’tpass them on to their children
Contribution
Distribution

Will it work now?
401(k) contributors had much lower tax rates from 1980’s through today
Pressure for tax rates to increase
Increasing levels of wealth for financially successful retirees
Because of personal savings in 40(k)s, IRAs, etc., retirees now own significant assets that will be passed to their children
Children’s tax rates are rising, creating significant income tax implications

Contribution, Accumulation, Distribution
Every dollar put towards retirement goes through three phases:
The bad news is:– You must pay taxes on at least one of these three phases
The good news is:– You get to decide which one– It depends on the investments you choose
Contribution Accumulation Distribution

* Policy must comply with IRS requirements to qualify as a life insurance contract. Total premiums in the policy cannot exceed funding limitations under IRC 7702. Withdrawals during the first 15 years of the contract may be treated as income first and includible in policyholder’s income. If the policy is classified as a modified endowment contract (see IRC 7702A), withdrawals or loans are subject to regular income tax and an additional 10% tax penalty may apply if taken prior to age 59 ½. Distributions will reduce policy values and may reduce benefits. Availability of policy loans and withdrawals depend on multiple factors including but not limited to policy terms and conditions, performance, and fees or expenses.
Income-tax-free death benefit for beneficiaries* No defined IRS limitation on premiums* No limit on gross income affecting your ability tocontribute premiums Missed premiums may be “made up” at a later time* Tax-deferred accumulation* Distributions using withdrawals and loans areincome-tax-free when structured properly* Access to your values prior to age 59½ Take distributions as needed* No required minimum distributions (RMDs) for owners Self-completing upon death
– Death benefit exceeds account value
Life Insurance The list of benefits is long and powerful!
