Supplemental Employee Life Insurance a Pre-Tax Deduction

Standard and Aetna Supplemental Employee Life Insurance premiums are deducted on a pre-tax basis. Because of this, the value (not the amount) of life coverage you have over $50,000 is taxable. This value amount is determined by the IRS based on the rates shown in the Calculator.


Imputed income is the term the IRS applies to the value of any benefit or service that should be considered income for the purposes of calculating federal tax. Even though imputed income adds to your taxable wage base, the increase is normally offset by the benefit of having pre-tax deductions.


Use this special Calculator to figure the amount of your Imputed Income and its effect on your reportable income.
