Health Insurance paid for family members (even though not owners) of S Corp. must be included in family members W-2 as federal gross wages (and State gross wages). Health Insurance Plan must be a S Corp. health insurance plan.
IRS Chief Counsel provided guidance on this in 201912001 dated 3-22-2019
I see some guidance in general in Pub. 15-A.
IRS Chief Counsel guidance indicates family member also get an adjusted gross income deduction for self-employed health insurance on form 1040.
Quick Books has mechanics in the payroll program to complete this process correctly.

You haven't stated what you want help doing, or which form this pertains to, or any details, really. Yes, it is a consideration. How does that apply to what you are asking from your peer users?
Looking for general consensus about the reporting issues.
I see some other comments ask about how the non-owner S corp. taxpayer receiving the extra gross income from the health insurance would deduct this item if the non-owner does not receive a K-1.
Creating a mock K-1 was suggested? Not sure that's a good idea and might create IRS letter correspondence to deal with.
thanks for responding. I do need to be a lot more specific in where I was headed/
"I see some other comments ask about how the non-owner S corp. taxpayer receiving the extra gross income from the health insurance would deduct this item if the non-owner does not receive a K-1."
It should be on their W2 with the proper benefit code.
It is included on the W-2 as federal wages with proper benefit code. The question remains how to deduct on the 1040 since the non-owner does not receive a K-1.
Not seeing an explanation in the 1040 instructions?
Mockup K-1 or other?
The software will only do it with a K-1 or a direct override.
So I would enter a 'mock' K-1 with all zeros for income/loss, but then only enter the health insurance in the spot on the K-1 worksheets (and the associated Box 5 of the W-2).
