Health insurance for S-crop Share holder

[Bjorn]

What is the best way for a share holder of a small S-corp to get healh insurane? It sounds like the wife is a co-shareholder. My thought was to put one as an employee, but they both may be shareholders so that may not work.

Thanks.

Are the shareholders over 2%.I assume they are.If they provide services to the s-corp they have to be employees.Health ins is added to w'2 and shareholder can get a deduction as a adjustment.

Thanks for the good information. I'm aware of the 2% rule. It sounds like there are better deals for a schedule C person than an S-corp. As I joke I suggested his wife get a government job with the rather generous fringe benefits our tax dollars pay for.
