    No, the premiums you pay for a personal life insurance policy are not tax deductible on your tax return. If the death benefit is received by a a personal beneficiary named in your policy, your beneficiary will also be able to receive the life insurance proceeds income tax free.

    Personally held life insurance is not tax deductible. However there are alternatives for tax deductions in some qualified plans which allow a certain percentage of the participant’s annual contribution to be life insurance. The generally rule of thumb is 49.5% maximum for participating whole life and 25% for universal life.
