The church paid the pastor $20,000 in wages and $10,000 in housing allowance. $1000 was withheld from the pastors wages and put in a 403(b) plan leaving salary of $19,000.
Please advise us on how to complete the pastor's W-2.
Should $19,000 go in box 1 of the W-2?
Will the $1,000 go in box 12 with the code E?
Will the pastor need to pay SECA tax on the $1000 403(b) on his tax return? I can't find this anywhere. Other "employees" with 403(b)contributions are subject to SS/Med tax on their 403(b) contributions.
Thank you for your assistance,
Carrie

If you want to DIY your payroll, I highly recommend you look at using Gusto! It is very user friendly and their support is awesome! Plus they know how to set up and maintain payrolls for churches and nonprofit organizations.
Note: I am a "partner" of Gusto, but as I have told you before ... I never recommend anything that we or our clients have not tried and love =)
