Withholding Taxes and 1099 or W-2?

by Cindy
(Metroolis, Ill.)

My husband and I co-pastor a small church, under 50. We receive 12,000/ year. We are bi-vocational and have our SS, medicare and taxes withheld at a a higher rate at our jobs. Is the church required by law to do withholding? Should the church give us a 1099 or a W2? We have conflicting information. We also paid self employment taxes last year. Thanks.
