I'm the owner/officer of S-Corp and bought house, what forms are required to show compensation to pay for house/bills when paying myself.

Does the corporation actually own the property? Is this your principal residence? Is the home used for business purposes?
No the Corp does not own the home, yes it is the principal residence and it is used to store equipment and my office. Thanks for the help.
There are ways to handle this scenario and I'll page @Rick19744
The S corporation can pay you a fair rental price for the part of the home used for the corporation's business or you can pay the expenses personally and have the corporation reimburse you for those expenses.
Take a look at the attached IRS link.

The commentary addresses the requirements and has other links for additional discussions.
I would also recommend that you have a written agreement between you and the S corporation.
Then set up an accountable reimbursement plan at the S corporation level. This avoids any compensation issue; assuming the home office qualifies as noted in the above documents and the reimbursement is reasonable and not an attempt to circumvent a reasonable wage.
