How should insurance benefits for pastors (health, dental, vision, health savings accounts, retirement, life insurance, disability insurance) be reported in the 941 & W2 forms? Are they considered income? Are they tax free or not? If they're not all treated the same way, which ones are tax free and which ones are not?

Taxable Benefits

It all depends on how the plans are set up. For example, payments on life insurance premiums on a policy where the church is NOT the beneficiary would be a taxable fringe benefit.
Please check with a knowledgeable CPA in your area or contact Bill O'Connell, CPA from http://wisdomoverwealth.com Tell him Vickey sent you:)
Not sure how much a CPA consultation would cost, but I can promise you it would be worth every penny.
Payroll issues such as this one is the number one reason churches get in trouble with the IRS.
