Clergy status change... Does it retro or do I prorate?
Our worship minister was ordained mid year and prior to that, fica/mc taxes were withheld. He then received 4361 approval.
Should church issue 2 (two) w2s? One for pre-minister with fica/mc withholding and another for minister exempt status?
TurboTax does not like the fact that he is a minister but still has a small amount withheld in boxes 4 & 6. HELP PLeaSe!
It would be so much simpler if the ministerial self employment status could retro to beginning of tax year but I can't find anything to verify what the IRS says.
Thanks ya'll!

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 =)
