Explanation:

Given:

Total amount paid = $65,000

Face value of life insurance policy = $100,000

Surrender value receive = $95,000

Note: The amount received from the life insurance policy is non-taxable income but if any gain happens from the surrender of the policy, the amount of gain will be taxable.

Taxable income = Surrender value receive - Total amount paid

Taxable income = $95,000 - $65,000

Taxable income = $30,000
