You are correct in assuming that this will likely trigger IRS correspondence requiring the church to file Forms 941.

To file the W2c online with the Social Security administration I was ask what type of Payer. They do not give you an option to move on without selecting one of the options. How should I handle this? If I select regular payer then our church will have to file form 941 or 944. Any suggestions?Pastor P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02086549416336172545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2084483202098738705.post-23445588732051890792015-01-16T15:23:51.903-06:002015-01-16T15:23:51.903-06:00Elizabeth,

In the past two weeks, we have actually been very busy filing Form 941/944 for a number of our clients.<br /><br />Some of our clients have received IRS correspondence stating that they are required to file Form 941 or Form 944. After much inconclusive communication between the church and the IRS, some churches opted to file Form 941 and then request permission to file Form 944. <br /><br />Each situation is different, we suggest you consult your personal tax professional for guidance on how your church should handle Form 941/944 filings.

Do not include housing allowance compensation on any of the Form 941 lines.<br />Further, because a minister is not an employee eligible or subject to FICA tax withholding, none of his compensation should be included on lines 5a or 5c.Corey Pfaffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14403804807948033774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2084483202098738705.post-77749488503360641082013-01-14T00:18:41.765-06:002013-01-14T00:18:41.765-06:00How do I report the pastor's salary on the 941...How do I report the pastor's salary on the 941 since he has no withholdings?
