Question

My client is a church employee. Am I required to enter any special information?

Answer

If the W-2 received contains amounts in boxes 3 and 5, no further input is required. If the W2 received does not contain amounts in these boxes, Schedule SE, Section B may be required.

In Screen OtherTax, enter the amount from W2, box 1 in the Electing church wages for an employee other than minister field.
