The income amount(s) used on Publication 517 Worksheets 1-4 (Clergy worksheets) to calculate the percentage of tax-free income (Worksheet 1) and the net self-employment income for Schedule SE (Form 1040) (Worksheet 4), are not transferred automatically from the Form W-2 Wage and Tax Statement. These are manual entries made in the Self-employment Tax Adjustments section; entering these amounts will NOT double the income claimed on the return.

To access the Schedule SE - Adjustments - Clergy Worksheets in the TaxAct program, go to our Schedule SE - Clergy Self-Employment Tax Adjustment Worksheet FAQ.

The amounts entered here will appear on the worksheets, which you can view when you print; to view the worksheets, go to our Printing Your Return and Individual Forms FAQ.
