Situation:
For an employee benefit, a small business employer pays the premiums for (non-group) term life insurance policies obtained by the employees themselves. The face value of these policies is significantly above $50,000.
Questions:
1) Are these payments taxable to the employee?
2) If so, can the Uniform Premium Table be used to determine the taxable amount? (Remember, this is not group insurance)
