Faith and Money: Clergy Tax Resource Video
Anyone who has done tax returns for clergy knows that they are quite different from a lay person’s return. There are some differences in the way taxable income is determined as well as where things are reported on the return. Dr. Lovett Weems has prepared a 12-minute video to give an introduction to clergy taxes and has given permission for us to share it. If you are not already a clergy tax expert, this video will be helpful to you. Also, any of our newer clergy may find some new information to help you plan your taxes. Now is the time to plan so we hope you will devote 12 minutes to this resource!
