My wife is a church receptionist -- Do I need to use Schedule SE???

Question

My wife works in a church office...on her W-2's there is both Social Security and Medicare withheld....do I still need to fill out Schedule SE?? The definition of a "church employee" in the form's directions state that the employee works for a church with a certificate making it exempt from social security and medicaire taxes...I am assuming that since they have been taken out, that she doesn't qualify...is that right?!?!
thanks!

Answer 1

Since the taxes were withheld form her pay there is no need to file the Schedule SE.
