Income Tax For Clergy

If you are like most religious workers, we know your schedule is a busy one. So, we would encourage you to take advantage of our special service of doing your tax return by mail.

Whether you choose to have your return prepared in the office or by mail, it is beneficial to check with us first to see what you need to furnish us for accurate preparation. We have prepared thousands of clergy tax returns.

Church Reviews (One Day At Your Location)

Regardless of the size of your congregation, the same tax laws and regulations apply. We'll take a day to review your church recordkeeping to make sure that you are complying with the law and that you are not paying extra taxes unnecessarily.

We will meet with your ministerial staff, the treasurer, and the church board to make sure no detail is overlooked and that all your questions are answered.

We take the "pulse" of your church and report to you the findings in a written format.
