Client is 100 yrs old, received distribution from her life insurance policy cuz she outlived the term. Is this taxable income? She hasn't died so they ended the policy

Yes, surrender of life insurance policy for cash value is a taxable event and not a capital gain transaction.  Any gain in excess of cost basis would be taxable as ordinary income.
