Hi, I need help with how to process corrected W-2's. While I was working on my personal income tax return I received a message that my employer had taken out too much social security taxes and that I needed to ask them for a refund and a corrected W-2. :shock: I went back to my records and at the be...

Hi Jeff....thanks for the feedback. I'm not sure if I am explaining myself clearly. Technically it is "taxable income" for the minister but the CPA has instructed that we don't need to withhold taxes on it because they are a "wash" on the ministers income tax return. For example: +$1000 - Income fro...

Boy, you are fast! We have version 11.5. I do have the payroll items set up using the "More Options" drop down box. I also understand that by unchecking the social security and medicare boxes it keeps these amounts out of boxes 3 and 5. My problem is that I also have to uncheck "Federal Withholding"...

Neil, I am already encountering this issue for another reason. I have two non-taxable payroll items (car allowance and health insurance premium reimbursement). Our CPA has told us that both of these are reported as income but they are not taxable income because they go towards expenses the minister ...

@John Meyers - thanks for the suggestion but this actually won't help. If I put the correcting entry in this year, it's just a wash. I need to reduce the income for 2011 and increase the income for 2012. So the only entry that would fix the problem would have to be done in each year. I closed Decemb...

Hello, I would like a report from accounts payable that has total payments over $600 for the year in fund 01. For example, if I pay John Doe $100 7 times he would show up in the report...if I pay Jane Doe $100 3 times she would not. I can get total payments in the Vendor Activity Summary, but I can'...

Hi! I used Quickbooks at my old church and I am using Power Church now. Quickbooks would automatically generate the Form 941 which then you only had to sign and mail. You purchased the W-2's and 1099's and Quickbooks would print the data onto the pre-printed forms. In Power Church you can still purc...

Here are a few more wish list ideas: Accounts Payable Module - the ability to run reports by fund number. Maintain Open Invoices and Maintain Manual Checks: #1 - Have the abiilty to add a new vendor on this screen without having to go to the Accounts Payable Module. #2 - Be able to add an entry in t...

Hi Neil! There are a couple of things I would like to see in Version 11. Contributions Module - Be able to run a Funds Report on a range of fund numbers. For example, I would like to just run Fund 1-99 and not anything above that. Contributions Module - Be able to add a note in the contribution fiel...

Hi! I just saw your post and wanted to send you a word of caution. Generally, you are not supposed to give your pastor a 1099. He is considered an employee for income tax purposes and should receive a W-2. They are only considered self-employed when it comes to Social Security taxes. The tax law is ...

Hi! I have an improvement request for Power Church. I would like to have the flexibility to run financial reports based on specific dates. For example, I would like to run a report from October 7 - October 13. We do a lot of weekly reports here at our church and it would be nice to be able to filter...

Hi Matt,

Just wanted to say thanks for the feedback. I appreciate the help.

Hi Matt! Thanks for the reply and the info. on the cash basis system. This is not possible because we have to have reports that show what our assets and liabilities are. I also understand that Power Church is set up from an accounting point of view and processes information based on those views. How...

Hello, I have a question regarding financial reporting. I have been running the income and expense reports (usually by month) to show the pastor how our finances are looking. I thought this was a good report because it shows how much money comes in compared to how much money that we spent (I thought...

Hi Jeff, just wanted to add that I would like to see the sub-accounts be able to carry forward balances so that we could get balances in the accounts at any time. A lot of churches can use this type of report because we all have ministry areas that need to know how much they have available to spend....
