There is no limit on the amount of a ministers salary that a church can designate as a housing allowance. In appropriate situations, a church could designate 100% of a ministers salary as housing allowance.
The agency specifically states: The services you perform in the exercise of your ministry are generally covered by Social Security and Medicare under the self-employment tax system, regardless of your status under the common law.
Yes. Ministers for tax purposes must pay SECA (Self Employed Contributions Act) taxes on their ministerial earnings unless they have properly followed IRS rules to opt out of Social Security, something few ministers qualify to do.
Generally, those expenses include rent, mortgage interest, utilities, and other expenses directly relating to providing a home. The amount excluded cant be more than reasonable compensation for the ministers services. If you own your home, you may still claim deductions for mortgage interest and real property taxes.
Are ministers who pay off their mortgages eligible for a housing allowance? Ministers who pay off their mortgages may have a housing allowance for other eligible expenses of maintaining a home, such as utilities, taxes and repairs. With no mortgage payment, their expenses are likely to be much lower.
