Indexed Universal Life Data Entry
- The Policy name will default to [Client's] Indexed Universal Life Insurance, but you can enter a custom name if you'd like. You will also want to choose the client, co-client, joint, or Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust as the Owner.
- Choose a member of the household as the Insured individual. In joint plans, use the Beneficiary % field to specify the percentage of the death benefit that the co-client will receive within the plan.
- Enter the dollar amount for the client's Annual premium, and specify the year in which the Premium ends. If the client is no longer paying a premium, you can leave this set to $0.
- Enter the Death benefit. When the insured individual passes away, the death benefit will pay out within the plan as other income and will be reinvested into the taxable bucket at the end of the cash flow year.
- If the policy has a cash value component, enter the current Cash value, choose a Cash value approach, and specify any Distributions. To learn more, please reference our article on Cash Value Life Insurance.
