ARE YOU INTERESTED IN A CLERGY TAX WORKSHOP?

I am planning on offering a two-hour workshop during the afternoon of December 8th or the evening of December 8th.

If you are interested, please email me at susanranous@unyumc.org. It will be held via Zoom. Once I hear from you, I will send you a link!

• ·         Clergy are treated differently under the tax code than virtually anybody else in the country.
• ·         Are clergy employees or self-employed? Hint: the answer isn’t obvious or easy!
• ·         Clergy have advantages and disadvantages that no one else has.
• ·         Often, confusion exists concerning clergy compensation, deductions and expenses.

This workshop will help you gain a better understanding of the current tax laws that affect clergy today.

At the end of this workshop, you will have a better understanding of the unique issues faced by a United Methodist Clergy Person.  Topics will include: Defining the Dual-Status Tax Classification of Clergy, Defining What a Clergy Person Is, What Responsibilities the Church Has, What Responsibilities Clergy Have, Describing the Housing Allowance and Exclusion, Discussing Exemptions and Deductions, and Completing Your Tax Filing Forms.

I am an ordained Deacon, specializing in clergy tax, church finance and stewardship. In addition, I am a Certified Public Accountant, specializing in clergy taxes.

Please contact me with any questions or concerns, letting me know whether you wish to attend the afternoon or evening. I'll send you the appropriate Zoom link.
