The following is a general guide to navigate the handling of that honorarium when Reliant employees perform weddings, funeralsa Reliant employee performs a wedding, funeral, or speak speaks at church or ministry events event and receive receives an honorarium for those services.
- If the Reliant employee fills out a W9 and receives a 1099 for the honorarium, they can accept the additional funds and file that 1099 along with their taxes. In this scenario the Reliant employee is personally responsible for any taxes owed for that honorarium.
- Reliant Employees have two options for honorariums in which no 1099 is received:
- If the work was done as a in connection to with their Reliant role and within their scheduled Reliant work time, they should have the honorarium paid in the form of a check sent to Reliant and it would go . The funds will then be added as revenue into the MTD account for which the missionary is responsible and assessed the normal Reliant admin fee.
- If the work was done outside of their Reliant the Reliant missionary's Reliant role and their scheduled Reliant work time, they can keep it but the funds personally, however they are responsible for tracking and reporting that money as income earned on their taxesannual tax filing.

If the Reliant employee plans to reimburse expenses related to the work they performed and received an honorarium, then that honorarium should be made payable to Reliant and sent in for deposit into the MTD account. If the employee filled out a W9, by asking for the funds to be sent to Reliant the W9 will not cause the employee to receive a 1099, or if they do receive a 1099 they can request from the issuing organization that the 1099 be voided, since funds were sent to Reliant and not to them individually. Example of this reimbursement scenario - A Reliant employee performed a wedding and reimbursed associated travel costs for performing that wedding through the MTD account he/she is responsible for with Reliant. The Reliant employee received $300 for their services performing the wedding. Since they reimbursed expenses for this ministry event using the MTD account, the $300 should be made payable to Reliant and turned in as a gift to the MTD account. Cash gifts can also be sent in to Reliant following the following guidelines - See Cash Gift FAQ |
