SECA Liability
It is important to understand the distinction between self-employment social security payments (SECA), and those social security taxes which employers are required to withhold and match (FICA) for an employee who is not self-employed for social security purposes (typically a lay-employee). The FICA taxes should never be withheld from the compensation of a minister. Many churches reimburse ministers for a portion or all of their SECA liability. SECA reimbursements represent additional taxable compensation in the year paid to the minister for both income and social security tax purposes.
