Our pastor has a salary of $42000. $1200 is set as Housing Allowance. The $1200 goes into Box 14? Does $42000 go in box 1 or would it be $30,000.

If he received $30,000 as his wage and $12,000 as his housing allowance, then the $30,000 would go in box 1 and $12,0000 in box 14.
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 =)
