Church documentation of housing allowance

(north carolina)

Our pastor wants utilities set up to come out of main church account electronically each month. Is this good to do from documentation standpoint for the church or should a check be written each month?

I am not positive on this but I believe it is allowable to pay direct as long as you have supporting documentation.
However make sure the board approves and the housing allowance is adjusted accordingly and you include the amounts in the end of year housing allowance reported on the W-2 box 14.
I strongly suggest calling the IRS exempt organization phone support.

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 =)
