Retirement Planning

1. Neither Midland National nor its agents give tax advice. Please advise your customers to consult with and rely on a qualified legal or tax advisor before entering into or paying additional premiums with respect to such arrangements.

For most policies, withdrawals are free from federal income tax to the extent of the investment in the contract, and policy loans are also tax-free so long as the policy does not terminate before the death of the insured. However, if the policy is a Modified Endowment Contract (MEC), a withdrawal or policy loan may be taxable upon receipt. Further, unpaid loan interest on a MEC may be taxable. A MEC is a contract received in exchange for a MEC or for which premiums paid during a seven-year testing period exceed prescribed premium limits (7-pay premiums).

Indexed Universal Life products are not investments in the "market" or in the applicable index. They are subject to all policy fees and charges normally associated with most universal life insurance.

While the primary use of life insurance is death benefit protection, your clients may also have other needs that can be met through life insurance. The sales concepts and accompanying marketing materials below may help you broaden your sales potential. As independent contractors, it is up to you to choose which of these concepts may work for your particular sales strategy and clients, and which do not. Please note that Midland National does not require you to use any of these sales concepts; they are resources that can be used at your discretion for your own individualized sales presentations.
