My client has a full time job and is also a minister. The church he is providing services pays him $1,000 a month housing and $300/month salary for services. They have a "verbal" contract. They will not provide him with a W-2 or a 1099MISC. This just seems incorrect, but I still need to report it.
Should I report the $3,600 salary on Schedule C and the $12,000 subject to SE tax only?
I'm tired and don't mean to sound stupid but am I correct in thinking that he would not be entitled to the exemption from SE based on "religious or conscientious opposition to the acceptance of any public insurance for death, diability, old age, retirement, or medical care" because he is also receiving wages from other sources with SS and does intend to collect unemployment when he retires - so no 4136 or "vows of poverty".
