Whole life insurance provides coverage for the lifetime of the insured, along with a cash value component that grows over time. Term life insurance offers coverage for a specified period, such as 10, 20, or 30 years, without any cash value. Whole life is more expensive but offers lifelong protection and financial investment, while term life is more affordable and suited for temporary coverage needs.

Income tax is calculated based on your taxable income and the tax rates that apply to your income bracket. Deductions and credits can reduce your taxable income and overall tax liability. Taxable income is your gross income minus allowable deductions, and the resulting figure is applied against the tax rates set by the IRS and state authorities, if applicable.
