Let's consider the same example mentioned earlier. Assume you possess a cash balance of $25,000 and have already paid premiums totaling $20,001.

In this scenario, your policy is classified as a Modified Endowment Contract (MEC). This classification brings different tax implications compared to traditional insurance policies.

Should you decide to withdraw $10,000 from this policy, the taxation of this withdrawal would be specific. The first $5,000 you withdraw is considered as growth or earnings accumulated within the policy.

This $5,000 of growth is taxable and would be included in your taxable income for the year. It's crucial to understand that withdrawals from an MEC are taxed differently from regular insurance policies.

After accounting for the taxable growth, the remaining $5,000 withdrawn would come from your principal or the amount you initially paid in premiums. This part of the withdrawal is not taxable.
