Exempting from SE Tax

by Randall
(Texas)

Question regarding Form 4361:

I am a fairly new minister and am afraid I have missed the deadline for filing a form 4361. Are their any extensions for this form or exceptions to the rule? I had over $400 earned income in both 2007 and 2008. Is it too late?

vickey's reply

You have till the April 15th of the second year of reporting ministry income over $400.

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 =)
