tkamba Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 New Client came in with a W-2 from a local church for which he is the organist for the services. They issued him a W2 but did not withhold any taxes. I questioned whether this was really a W2, since there is no way to pay just 1/2 of the ss and medicare taxes. He went back to the church and was told they were previously told that they shoudl be issuing W2's not 1099-MISC which I would agree but they did not listen to the rest of the advice and withhold and pay taxes on this income for the technically employee. They have stated that they did not pay any taxes for this tax payer. My client want to make sure that all taxes are paid and is willing to just pay both sides of all taxes. I am leaning toward treating the W2 as a 1099-MISC and attaching a statement that explains the differnce in reporting. Can anyone think of another way or should we just plan on hearing from the IRS?

jainen Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 >>another way << Since you are thinking of filing Schedule SE anyway, I recommend you follow the instructions. It's right there on the front page at Schedule SE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
