    Insurance payments for 2% S-Corp owner

    After including reimbursement by S-Corp (2% owner) of insurance premiums in wages, do you actually receive those wages? My confusion is, since I have been reimbursed for premiums, am I double dipping by receiving the wages? Withholding has been taken into consideration.

    You receive your total W-2 wages in your paychecks + your health insurance reimbursement. Do NOT double dip from the S-Corp. You DO get to deduct your health insurance on your personal tax return.

      To re-state the previous reply, the >2% S-corp health insurance is added in to Form W-2 Box 1, but is not included in any paycheck net deposit to the employee. It was already paid to the insurance company, and should not/cannot be paid again. In other words, if the employee compares their Box 1 amount less all withholding to their net paycheck deposits, the difference should be the health insurance reimbursements.
