One of the most confusing parts of running any business is handling payroll. For a house of worship, the confusion is magnified when clergy are involved. Suddenly, in addition to your standard employees, you’re dealing with “dual status” employees and housing allowances.

Perhaps you’ve been wondering

  • What does “dual status” mean?
  • Who can be considered a clergy?
  • Should I report clergy compensation on a W2 or a 1099?
  • How do we determine a housing allowance?
  • Can our church withhold taxes for our clergy?

Join House of Worship accounting and QuickBooks experts Barbara L. Starley, CPA, and Gregg S. Bossen, CPA, in this high-demand webinar.

In this webinar we are going to cover

  • Similarities and differences between clergy and standard employees
  • The definition and qualifications of a “dual status” employee
