If Housing is paid through payroll, NTS will automatically include the housing amount in Box 14. Follow these instructions to add Housing for a parsonage or some other item to Box 14.
- Calculate the W-2 Forms. See Generating the W-2 Form if you need instructions on how to do this.
- Select the employee/pastor in the employee list.
- Click inside of Box 14 just below the number 14. See the example below.
- Type in the name of the compensation and then press the Tab key on your keyboard.
- Type in the amount of the compensation.
- Press the Tab key again and repeat steps 4 and 5 to include additional items in Box 14.
IMPORTANT: Anything typed into Box 14 is NOT saved. When you exit the W-2 Form, everything in box 14 will be erased and you will need to re-enter the information again if you need to print out the form. You should keep a paper copy of ALL forms submitted to the IRS. Do NOT expect that you will be able to reprint these forms from NTS at a later date.
