    Topic no. 417, Earnings for clergy | Internal Revenue Service
    
    A licensed, commissioned, or ordained minister is generally the common law employee of the church, denomination, sect, or organization that employs him or her to provide ministerial services. However, there are some exceptions, such as traveling evangelists who are independent contractors (self-employed) under the common law. Regardless of whether you're a minister performing ministerial services as an employee or a self-employed person, all of your earnings, including wages, offerings, and fees you receive for performing marriages, baptisms, funerals, etc., are subject to income tax.

  @jeffowski Please stop sharing this meme. It's not the *pastors* who are tax-exempt. It's the *churches that pay them* that are tax-exempt. Those churches should lose their tax exemptions, but that's a totally separate argument. The pastors are already paying taxes. (Maybe not enough, but in that respect they're no different from nonpastors with similar incomes.)
