This income is taxable to you.
Pastors fall under the clergy rules. They are considered a common law employee of the church so although they should receive a W2, (some churches are still issuing 1099-MISCs) their income is reported in different ways.
Be sure to select the clergy option when entering the W2 and TurboTax will do all the calculations.
For other details on how you enter clergy income see the information below.
https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3850695I have an approved IRS Form 4361 on file since 2004. It states clearly on the form that my clergy income is NOT subject to self-employment tax.
Please advise.
