A 1099-MISC with income reported to you in box 3 or 7, that is greater than $400 is required to be reported. However, you don't need the form itself to report that income. It's self-employment income as far as the IRS is concerned. You'll report that income on a SCH C as a part of your personal tax return. Call the church and see if they can provide you a copy of it. If not, then ask them for the "exact" amount they reported to the IRS, that they paid to you. You need to report that exact amount as income, on a SCH C which is included with your personal tax return.
