Life insurance policy beneficiaries NEVER have to pay income tax on the amounts received. In fact, inheritances are rarely taxable to the beneficiary, except in the case of traditional IRAs which are taxable to beneficiaries.

If you are the beneficiary no taxes would be due. If you sell the policy or cash it in then there cold be income. On a sale the gain would be the difference between the sale price and the cash value. If you cash it in then the insurance company would have to compute the income and send you a 1099R.
