\nThe pastor lives in a church provided parsonage. The church pays for the utilities (not transferred to the pastor’s name).<\/p>\n

Let’s say the pastor is paid one paycheck at the end of the year. He is paid $60,000 ($5,000\/month). The council has designated a parsonage allowance of $12,000 for him to cover furnishings and other authorized expenses.<\/p>\n

What is the value reported on the W-2, box 1 and box 14?
– I understand that box 14 = $12,000
– What is box 1? $60,000 or $48,000<\/p>\n

Since the church pays the utilities, is the total paid added to box 1?<\/p>\n

Whose responsibility is it to determine the FRV of the parsonage? Pastor, church, both?\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
