Employer paid life insurance

Hi,

I am planning to set up a S Corp firm for IT services (I am software consultant) and being the only employee of the firm. The firm will pay me salary.

After setting  firm up, I am also planning to buy a life insurance through the firm so premiums are paid by the firm. The firm would be the policy owner, I would be the insured and the beneficiery would be my wife.

Please advice me the benefits and taxes.
Will the premium tax deductible from firms  accounts?

Would I need to include the premiums in my taxable income?

If anytime I need to take a permanent employee position after terminating job the from the job , can the insurance be transferred to me?

Thanks in advance for clearing up my doubts and guiding me.

Thanks,
A.Kumar
