Question

Does anyone know why it says I'm clergy when I put self employed (cooking/cleaning/caring services) & how do I fix it?

    Normally, you are considered to have clergy income when you check the box regarding religious employment in the section where you enter your W-2 form that says Let's check for uncommon situations:

     

     

    I suggest you edit your W-2 entry to see if that box is checked. It could also have been checked in a previous year for an employer that you no longer have. In that case, you may need to delete a previous year W-2 file that you aren't using in the current year as follows:

     

    1. Choose the Tax Tools option on your left menu bar

    2. Choose Tools

    3. Choose the Delete a form option under Other Helpful links 

    4. Find the errant W-2 in the list and delete it
