Clergy or Church Employee Wages

W-2 Clergy or Church Employee Wages:
Menu Path: Income > Common Income > Wages (W-2)

Self-Employment Clergy or Church Employee Income:
Menu Path: Income > Business / Rental Income > Business Income (Schedule C)

Enter information you have from your clergy or church employee wages, including any parsonage or housing allowance you received and any Form 4361 or Form 4029 information you have.

If you are entering your clergy wages from a Form W-2 we will gather your clergy wages information including your parsonage or housing allowance right after you enter your Form W-2.

If you are entering your clergy income from a Form 1099-NEC or a Form 1099-MISC, your income will be reported as business income on a Schedule C. You will enter any income and expenses you have related to your clergy income in the business income section of the software. In the Less Common Expenses section of the business income screens, we will ask if you are a minister or clergy member and gather your housing allowance and self-employment taxes information.
