Zoom In: The Ministry Tax Maze: Finding Your Way Through

• “What does the IRS think of my housing allowance?”

• “What expenses can I actually deduct?”

• “What if I’ve been filing wrong for years?”

  If these questions hit a little too close to home, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to figure it out on your own. Join us for the first Zoom-In Leadership call of the fall with Scott Larsen, CPA and author of The Taxman Cometh. Scott specializes in helping pastors navigate the unique challenges of ministerial taxes. He’ll offer practical insight, answer real questions, and help you understand how to stay compliant while maximizing your benefits. 

Our training events are also a great way to connect with other pastors and share ideas. You'll have the opportunity to ask questions, learn from each other's experiences, and build relationships with key leaders.

Register for your one or all of the 1-hour Zoom call training events today! See the details below for topic, date, and presenter info. Go ahead, and block on some time for your own development.
