Clergy Tax Factor 5 - Withholding Taxes. A church can withhold income tax (at the minister requests) , but not Social Security and Medicare tax. Let me repeat that...a church CANNOT withhold FICA from a qualifying minister's compensation. Note: Social security and Medicare taxes are collected under two systems.
Researchers have identified several of the various genes responsible for hereditary deafness or hearing loss, most notably the GJB2 gene mutation. As one of the most common genetic causes of hearing loss, GJB2-related hearing loss is considered a recessive genetic disorder because the mutations only cause deafness in individuals who inherit two copies of the mutated gene, one from each parent. A person with one mutated copy and one normal copy is a carrier but is not deaf.
Since two copies of the mutant gene cause the disease phenotype, a person can survive with one functional copy, and as such they are termed carriers. Having one functioning copy is sufficient to prevent the disease condition. However, when there are genetic mutations in both copies, the disease will be present.The condition is caused by the inability of the body to transport chloride ions into and out of cells due to the mutated CFTR gene. Gradually this leads to a blockage of the lungs and pancreas.owever, when there are genetic mutations in both copies, the disease will be present.
