I found that my W-2 form from the church where I serve as lead pastor added my Accountable Expense Plan monies AND the $1000 I allocated for medical expenses back into my line 1 wages and line 14 housing allowance, making both of these amounts now taxable income.
This seems totally wrong to me.
Now I have the tax company that did the W-2's telling me that they think the Affordable Care Act took away these two benefits for pastors, which is why my W-2 came out the way it did.
From what I've read both on the IRS site and the ECFA's publication, I think this tax company is flat wrong. Yes? I am in a ACA compliant group plan health insurance program through the church. So to my knowledge, both of these amounts above should not have appeared on my W-2 at all.
Am I correct? On what basis?
Comments for Accountable a Expense no longer valid under the ACA?

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 =)
