Game Changing Leadership – Understanding Clergy Taxes • February 2022 (Online Workshop)
Clergy face some unique challenges when it comes to things like Social Security payments, estimated tax payments, housing allowances or exclusions, and reimbursed expenses. There are questions you may have about the implications of the pandemic on your 2021 tax situation. Your corner tax preparer may not understand the unique situation of clergy and finding a preparer who does can save you substantially in money and aggravation. Join us as Ken Sloane and Don Joiner, a certified financial planner, help us navigate the preparation of clergy taxes and planning for a sound financial future.
