The IRS found in Letter Ruling 9604001 that the cash surrender value of a split-dollar life insurance plan that exceeds the funds owed to the employer is taxable under IRC section 83. Two alternative filing positions may be considered by taxpayers faced with income inclusion of excess split-dollar funds. The taxpayer may argue that the transfer from the employer to the employee occurs at the time of policy formation and not when the cash surrender value exceeds premium reimbursement. Taxpayers may also consider arguing that section 83 does not apply to collateral assignment split-dollar plans.

DEBTOR/CREDITOR INSURANCE: The trial court erred by granting a writ of execution against the cash value of a debtors whole-life insurance policies in contravention of R.C. 3911.10: although the insured had paid the premiums on his life-insurance policies in fraud of his creditors, the insurance policies had not matured, and there were no proceeds to garnish. Under R.C. 3911.10, life-insurance proceeds are exempt from creditors claims except for the amount of any premiums the insured paid in fraud of his creditors.

Beaver-based Greek Catholic Union -- the state's largest fraternal-benefit society -- has placed $12 million in liens on members' policies in an unusual bid to shore up a capital base wracked by financial markets. The balance-sheet maneuver equals an average $300 off the cash- surrender value, or 2 percent, of each member's life insurance or annuity contract.
