This presentation focuses on how CPA’s can grow their practice and bolster their client’s balance sheet by better understanding tax-exempt life insurance in general.
This presentation equips CPAs with the knowledge to grow their practice by understanding the strategic use of tax-exempt life insurance in corporate settings. It focuses on how life insurance planning can enhance a client’s balance sheet, create tax savings, and add advisory value. Attendees will learn how different types of life insurance—like term-to-100, universal life, and participating whole life—function within corporations, how they're priced, how their cash values are invested, and how they affect tax outcomes both pre- and post-mortem.
The session includes a detailed case study comparing four planning approaches using equal cash flows. It highlights key tax considerations such as refundable dividend tax on hand (RDTOH), capital gains tax, capital dividend account (CDA), stop-loss rules, and Section 164(6) carrybacks. By the end of this session, CPAs will understand how to add value as trusted, independent advisors, and how to tap into life insurance planning as a high-potential, underused advisory service.
