I have a question about being paid as an ocassional worship leader

by Tom

I have been trying to find a definitive answer to this question.

I lead worship for a pastor friend of mine occasionally. I receive a check from the church for $40 each time.

Is this report-able misc income for me as far as taxes go?

Is there a limit as far as an amount where I do not have to claim?

It is Taxable

You should be receiving an IRS 1099Form from the church for worship leader. The church is required to issue the form if you receive $600.00 or more per year from the church for worship leader.
