The following is a general guide to navigate the handling of that an honorarium received when a Reliant employee performs a wedding, funeral, or speaks at church or ministry event and 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 in connection 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. 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 the Reliant missionary's Reliant role and scheduled Reliant work time, they can keep the funds personally, however they are responsible for tracking and reporting that money as income earned on their annual tax filing.
