Paying the health insurance through payroll would be in addition to the fair and reasonable salary. Say I set a fair and reasonable salary of $65,000, then I want the S-Corp to cover my health insurance $20,000 a year then I need to set payroll to $85,000.
Yes, I could continue to pay myself just $65,000, but the IRS could come knocking and say, "you said you paid for health insurance through S-Corp payroll, so that means you only gave yourself a $45,000 salary which is not fair and reasonable.
