CHURCH ACCOUNTING PACKAGE

One Time Gift to a Pastor

by Do
(Canton, TX)

If our church wants to give the Pastor's wife a one time gift designated by the Board of Directors from our General Fund but specific offerings were not taken from the church body for this, is this taxable income to the Pastor if they file their taxes jointly?

If this can be done, are there limits to the amount that can be given without incurring a tax burden for the pastor.

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 =)
