Do Ministers pay self-employment tax?

For services in the exercise of the ministry, members of the clergy receive a Form W-2 but do not have social security or Medicare taxes withheld. They must pay social security and Medicare by filing Schedule SE (Form 1040), Self-Employment Tax.

Can a pastor be a 1099 employee?

For the most part, ministers are deemed to be common-law employees of the religious organization for which they work, and thus they should receive a W-2 form. There are only a limited number of instances where a 1099-MISC may be applicable, one of which is if a minister is a traveling evangelist.

What is a 1099 independent contractor agreement?

An independent contractor agreement is a legally binding document signed by a 1099 employee and the company that hires them. It outlines the scope of work and the terms under which that work will be completed, which goes a long way to making sure both parties are on the same page about the project from the start.

Are ministers independent contractors?

The answer is both. Ministers have what is commonly referred to as dual tax status. For federal income tax purposes, a minister is generally treated as a common-law employee. For payments into Social Security, the minister is always self-employed. This is an IRS regulation and not an election.
