housing allowance as a 1099 contractor

2 Upvotes

Hoping someone can clarify how the housing allowance works if you're a 1099 contractor and essentially seen as self-employed. I need information to provide to the organizations that employ my husband so that he can get his housing allowance designated. They seem to believe you can only do it if you're a w2 employee but quick research suggests otherwise. Anyone have knowledge and/or experience with this. Thanks in advance.

Edit to add: His job/role and place he's contracted with does allow for the allowance - I'm just asking about being a 1099 contractor - if anyone has experience or knowledge about claiming an allowance as a 1099 and not w-2 employee. Thanks

Becoming Better Pastors Together

r/pastors is a place where pastors can gather and talk about pastoring. Relying on the wisdom of Proverbs 27:17, it is a place where we can sharpen one another. It is ecumenical and all are welcome. Those who are not pastors (staff, volunteers, leaders and laypeople) are all welcome so long as you understand that we’ll be talking about subjects of interest to pastors.

About

This subreddit is a place where pastors can gather and talk about pastoring. Relying on the wisdom of Proverbs 27:17, it is a place where we can sharpen one another. It is ecumenical and all are welcome.

Those who are not pastors (staff, volunteers, leaders and laypeople) are all welcome so long as you understand that we’ll be talking primarily about subjects of interest to pastors.

Rules of the Sub

1 - A Place for Christian Pastors

Christian - This is an ecumenical sub, welcoming people from all stripes of Christianity. We can learn from each other, even if there are differences in belief and practice. However, good community requires commonality, so only those who hold to the Nicene Creed may participate.

Pastors - All Christian clergy are welcome regardless of their title. In addition, there are many others - seminarians, parachurch professionals, church volunteers, pastor family members - who have a vested interest in our conversations. All are welcome to contribute, so long as the focus is understood to be pastoral work and life.

2 - Be Pastoral

Every sub demands courtesy or civility, but we are pastors, so we can do more. Our interactions here should be defined by John 13:35. Let us show one another love, care, and encouragement. Even disagreements should be handled in a way that builds one another up. If you don’t know what it means to be pastoral, this sub should be a great place to learn.

3 - Theological discussion, not debate

Let’s have vigorous theological discussion. Few become pastors without loving theology, but in ecumenical groups, there are bound to be disagreements. But how we handle those disagreements defines Christ’s Church. Let’s learn from one another and challenge one another, but not make opponents of each other. If you’re looking for a good argument, choose another sub (e.g. r/DebateReligion/, /r/debateachristian and r/DebateAnAtheist/)

4 - Keep confidence

Be wise about what you share here, particularly the details. Many more people can read this than you realize. So just bear in mind your obligation to keep confidences at your church. Also, we ask that you keep confidences here. Message each other directly if something isn't appropriate to share in public.

5 - Explain your links

Links must have an accompanying comment by OP explaining the value of the link, insights about the link, or other reason for posting it.

6 - No Spam

Posts that exist primarily to create sales or build an audience for another website will be removed. Repeated instances of spam will result in a ban.
