I'm am a pastor. The church and I have agreed to have my Social Security taxes taken out voluntarily. I filled out the w-4 to have this done. On my w-2 these taxes show up as being taken out in box 2 as federal income taxes. Where on my tax form do I show that these taxes are already taken out?

I used the sitesearch and found the following-
for the church:
"Income tax withheld for Pastor
by: Vickey
If you pay his income tax for him on top of gross wage, then you will have to include the amount on W-2.
It would be more beneficial for your pastor if when he filled out a W-4 have the church hold out his income taxes and an extra amount that would cover his self employment taxes also.
You would report his withholding on a form 941."
and for the employee:
"Reporting Income
by: Vickey
It would depend on how it was reported.
If you are an employee of the church, it should have been included in box 1 of your W-2 You would then record that amount on line 7 of a 1040.If it wasn’t included in your W-2, you could report it on line 21 (Other Income).
If you are self-employed, it would be included in line 1 of a Schedule C.
hope this helps
