I am working on a tax return for a minister who is an employee of the church and receives a housing allowance. On the w-2, the housing allowance in included in box 3-Social Security wages and Box 5 Medicare wages and SS and MC is withheld. Is this correct? How is this handled on the Tax Return.
Box 1 only includes the taxable income and does not include the housing allowance.
Comments for FICA being withheld from Housing Allowance.

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 =)
