Business owners generally cannot deduct life insurance premium payments as a business expense on their federal tax returns if the business or the owner is the direct or indirect beneficiary of the policy (such as key person insurance tied to a personal guarantee). However, if a business provides group-term life insurance as an employee benefit for workers (up to $50,000 of coverage per employee), those standard premiums are typically fully deductible as ordinary business operating expenses.
