Which is true about disability buy-sell insurance policies?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Disability buy-sell insurance funds a business partner's buyout if one becomes disabled, per Virginia Code 38.2-3100 et seq. Option C is true; proceeds are typically tax-free under IRC 104(a)(3) as insurance benefits, not income, if premiums aren't deducted. Option A is false; the policyowner (e.g., a partner or business) is often the beneficiary to fund the buyout. Option B is false; benefits go to the business or partner, not the disabled individual, who may receive separate disability income coverage. Option D is false; premiums aren't tax-deductible (IRC 265), preserving tax-free proceeds. The study guide likely explains this with scenarios---e.g., $500,000 paid tax-free to buy out a disabled partner---highlighting tax treatment, making C the true statement.

Disability buy-sell insurance policies? Sounds like a real snooze-fest. I'd rather buy a policy that covers my addiction to cat videos.

The insurer paying the benefits to the disabled individual makes sense. Option B seems like the right choice.

I'm pretty sure the premiums are also tax-deductible. Option D sounds right to me.

Option C is the correct answer. The policy proceeds are normally received income tax-free.

I remember discussing that the insurer pays the benefits to the business, not the individual, so I think option B is definitely incorrect.

I'm a bit confused about the tax-deductibility of premiums. I thought they were usually not deductible for personal policies, but I could be wrong.

I feel like I've seen a question like this before, and I think option C might be correct since many insurance benefits are tax-free.

I think the policyowner can be the beneficiary, but I'm not entirely sure. I remember something about that from our last review session.

Disability insurance can get complicated, but I've got a strategy. I'll eliminate the options that don't sound right, then choose the one that best fits what I know about these policies.

This looks like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully consider each option and think about the typical characteristics of disability buy-sell policies. Time to put on my thinking cap!

Okay, I think I've got a handle on this. The key is to focus on the tax implications - that's usually a big factor with insurance policies. Let me think this through...

Hmm, I'm not too familiar with disability buy-sell insurance policies. I'll need to review the key features of these types of policies to determine the correct answer.
