Clergy Social Security

by Peggy

Can the church or should the church pay directly to the clergy half of the social security tax?

Answer

Yes you can...if the church is financially able. I believe it is a very nice benefit for your clergy.

However, please be aware that it would be considered taxable income and would need to be included and reported along with his regular wages.

Hope this helps,
