Cameron is the owner and beneficiary of a $300,000 policy on the life of his mother. Cameron sells the policy to his brother, Parker, for $100,000. Parker subsequently pays premiums of $55,000. Upon his mother's death, how much of the insurance proceeds must Parker include in income?

A) $0
B) $55,000
C) $145,000
D) $300,000


C) $145,000

If there has been a transfer for valuable consideration, the life insurance proceeds are taxable but may be reduced by the investment in the policy. Thus, $145,000 {$300,000 less ($100,000 + 55,000)} is taxable.
