Church accounting software with payroll must meet specific non-profit organization needs. Most church accounting tools provide specialized options for managing funds, donations, church expenses, and tax-related reporting. Additionally, churches work with a combination of part-time employees and contractors. If you do accounting for a church, you’ll need a comprehensive tool that both supports workers and manages tax filing obligations.
While we at Advanced Micro Solutions don’t exclusively brand ourselves as a non-profit payroll company, religious organizations can easily adopt our tools to meet their specific needs. Users purchase our base platform, a W-2/1099 Forms Filer, to meet all their worker-related accounting requirements. Then, they choose add-on tools to create a customized accounting suite. With the addition of AMS Payroll, we offer church accounting and payroll software – all for a non-profit-friendly price.
Church Accounting and Payroll Requirements
Church accounting software with payroll from AMS has everything you need to organize church employees, their paychecks, and any tax liabilities. Tax responsibility amongst religious organizations can be complicated.
For example, clergy worker classifications have been in flux for years. In some ways, clergy are treated as employees. According to the IRS, if a congregation employs a clergy member for a salary, they are considered a common-law employee. The salary is considered wages for income tax withholding purposes. However, fees for performing marriages, baptisms, and other services are considered self-employment earnings and are taxed accordingly. Most clergy are both independent contractors and employees at the same time. This can be a confusing distinction for the people who run church payroll.
Tax and wage responsibilities in the church are complicated. To offset this effort, your payroll software should be as user-friendly as possible. That’s what you’ll get from AMS. If you’re on the hunt for church accounting software with payroll, Advanced Micro Solutions has everything you need – from a W-2/1099 Forms Filer to a payroll tool with updated tax tables.
