Taxes Shouldn’t be this Hard. We Can Help Ease the Process

Which tax reporting form should I use? It’s one of the most common questions tax professionals hear from clergy. Clergy salaries are taxable. In fact, ordained ministers have a dual tax status.

For federal income taxes, they’re considered an employee. But for Social Security and Medicare taxes, they’re classified as self-employed. That makes tax planning for ministers very different from tax planning for lay church employees or other workers.

It’s to your advantage to work with a tax professional who understands clergy taxes. But MMBB is also here to provide guidance.
