If a pastor is experiencing high medical costs not covered by insurance and the Board wants to provide them a small love gift (< $3,000) to show support for their struggle, is this reportable/taxable on a W-2?
This gift is not in any way a condition of employment, nor has it been asked for by the pastor.
It is a spontaneous gift.
Everything I've read indicates this is taxable, just checking to see if there is any rationale for it not being taxable.

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 =)
