4.3.2 1035 Contract Exchanges

As you know, gains on financial investments are typically taxable income. Rather than surrendering a policy and having to pay income tax right away, Section 1035 of the Tax Code allows the owners the flexibility to exchange their policy for another. In this way, the gain is not taxable. Exchanges can be accomplished through several methods.
