The minister client's W-2 was prepared with mistakes in regards to the housing allowance. I pointed that out to my clients.
He said he would talk to the CPA that handles the church's payroll. Now my client told me that the church accountant wanted my number to ask me some questions.
I charged very little for this clients to do his personal returns. I really do not feel that I should be teaching his church CPA or accountant to do minister payroll. I spent time to figure that out. It seems petty but I feel that I know what needs to be done and I can amend the W-2 for you. If they could figure out how to do it, the church or him should hire me to amend the payroll.
I kind of do not want to take the call. I have already pointed out that they have made mistakes in reporting housing allowance.
How should I communicate this to my client?
