Starting in 2014, an employer’s reimbursement or payment of individual healthcare insurance premiums became deemed as taxable income. Only employer-provided group health insurance continues to be recognized as pre-tax benefit. See the FCMM website, News and Perspectives, for more information. It will be essential for churches to report this income properly on W-2s and 941s, and for affected staff to be prepared for resulting increased tax liability.
