Louisiana does not exempt churches from sales tax. Sales tax not collected at time of purchase on items used in the operation of the church such as bibles, candles, etc., must be reported and paid directly to the state.
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 =)
