Filing clergy returns can be an intimidating and even confusing process to the uninitiated. Practitioners and bookkeepers unfamiliar with clergy tax law will quickly find that Clergy W-2 forms differ slightly from regular W-2 forms. Often Social Security and Medicare withholding will get reported by mistake when they should not. Sometimes housing allowance or parsonages are incorrectly reported. All of this can cause more headaches when you have to file additional forms to correct them later.
If this is your first time filing Clergy W-2 Forms, or you’ve never attended any formal instruction on filing them previously, Clergy Financial Resources offers 45 to 60 minute online webinar. The Webinar covers basic information such as how to complete a clergy W-2, the difference between deductions and exclusions, and how to file corrections. Each webinar is led by a clergy tax professional and there is additional discussion during the session, so you can ask questions and get the clarification you need in order to be successful.
