Minister
If you are a duly ordained or licensed minister receiving a housing allowance from your church and you do not file a Schedule C or C-EZ, complete this line by entering your gross compensation from the ministry less rental value of a home. The balance is subject to tax.

IRA
You are eligible for the $6,000 exemption for retirement or disability benefits provided the distribution is from public or private employment related retirement systems, plans or programs. (The recipient need not be retired.) The method of funding is irrelevant. The exemption may be from either lump-sum or installment payments. The early withdrawal penalty may be applicable even though the exemption is granted.

If you received an IRA distribution after reaching the age of fifty-nine and one-half (59 1/2), the first $6,000 is exempt from tax. Premature distributions made on account of the participants death or disability also qualify for the exemption. All other premature distributions or early withdrawals including, but not limited to, those taken for medical-related expenses, higher education expenses, or a first-time home purchase do not qualify for the exemption.
