Question:

Are Internal Revenue Code 403(b) distributions (to aminister over the age of 59 ½) that are designated as housing allowance inexcess of housings costs subject to self-employment tax, or are they onlysubject to income tax as regular income?

Answer:

If a minister owns a home, the amount excluded from theminister’s gross income as a housing allowance is limited to the least of thefollowing: (a) the amount actually used to provide a home, (b) the amountofficially designated as a housing allowance, or c) the fair rental value ofthe home.

As with virtually all retirement plan distributions, noself-employment tax is due on 403(b) distributions.
