Employer Paid S-Corp Owner Benefits

Health insurance premiums paid by the corporation for owners with at least 2% ownership in an S-Corp where an employee “non-discriminatory” medical plan is offered is taxable and reportable, thus the employer paid contribution is Social Security, Medicare and FUTA exempt but taxable for federal, state and local purposes.
