Name TAA a Beneficiary of Your Life Insurance PolicyDesignate TAA as the primary beneficiary for a percentage or specific amount of your life insurance policy. You can also make us the contingent beneficiary so that we will receive the balance of your policy only if your primary beneficiary doesn't survive you. You qualify for a federal income tax charitable deduction when you itemize on your taxes. If you continue to pay premiums on the policy, each payment is tax deductible as a charitable gift when you itemize. There are numerous ways to creatively structure a planned gift. Consult your attorney and/or financial adviser to assure that the optimum benefits are realized for both you and TAA.
