Zero Compensation Pastor

I am starting a new church, I am a disabled veteran receiving Social Security. I have informed the members that I will not take a salary, this has been recorded into our initial minutes and records. Will there still be tax implications for me?

tax implications
by: Lewis in NC

If you receive gifts of more than $600 in the year, or if you receive a housing allowance (which could be of benefit to you if you are a qualifying minister for the housing allowance that is) are the only two ways there could be tax implications for you. Oh, and a third possible way would be involving a travel allowance, or your travel expenses related to ministry travel expenses.

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 =)
