Paying an honorium to a co-op teacher
(view similar articles on Q&A from Homeschool Leaders)

Tawnya B. of Rapid City, SD wrote and asked me:

If our homeschool co-op wants to give someone an honorarium for teaching a class, does that constitute an independent contractor with all of the tax implications?

My answer:

Excellent question!  Honorariums are considered income to the recipient. Your organization will have to give the teacher a form 1099MISC if you paid him or her $600 or more in a year.  A copy of the 1099MISC form is also filed withe the IRS.  If you pay him or her less than $600, there nothing for your organization to report.  The recipient is still supposed to report the honorarium income on his or her 1040 tax return as Misc Income.

I hope that helps,
