CHURCH ACCOUNTING PACKAGE

Guest Speaker Income

If a pastor speaks regularly as a guest speaker at a second church, and receives a check each time, where does he report this income? No W-2 will be given since he is officially a guest speaker. Is this reported on Schedule C? Does the second church have to give a 1099?

vickey's reply

Yes. It would go on the Pastor’s Schedule C.
The first church would not issue anything; however, the second church should issue a 1099-MISC …if it was over $600 annually.

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 =)
