When running a W2 for our pastor Blocks 1,3,and 5 do not print. Is that because in Setup/Item Descriptions the Tax Options is set to Non-taxable? Staff members W2's printed correctly; their Tax Options are set to Taxable. We selected the Non-taxable only because the pastor is an exempt employee.

That is correct .. if the amounts are listed as non-taxable, then that will not appear.

That said, according to the IRS, no minister is 'exempt' from Federal Income Tax. They could have exempted themselves from Social Security, but normal pay is subject to Federal Tax.

Thank you - just as I suspected. BTW exempt is sometimes used as payroll talk to mean a professional employee or contract employee who by law is exempt from the organization's collection of withholdings, i.e., FICA, SSI, etc.
