Yes, clearly it's all being considered self-employment. But why? It's nothing like owning a business. I was a guest speaker once, serve as a pastor for a job, and get some royalties from a curriculum I wrote. How is our system set up to tax such a person as myself for this type of work 46% on 41k taxable income? A pastor with 4 kids and making 41k is taxed almost half his income?!
You said,
'If SE taxes were withheld, be sure that you choose to only have the SE taxes withheld on your Housing Allowance if it is included in your W-2 and you did not have Medicare and social security taxes withheld already on the housing allowance.'
Please explain the above sentence a little more. Thank you.
