Key Takeaways

1) There is so much misunderstanding about how the pastor’s housing allowance works. Even most IRS agents aren’t clear on how it was initially designed to help pastors.

2) It’s not too late to take advantage of the pastor’s housing allowance, even if you’re near retirement.

3) You are responsible for declaring your housing allowance even if your ministry fails to include it on your W-2.

4) The housing allowance is subject to the 15.3% self-employment tax even though it’s exempt from federal taxes.
