Tax Preparation

The taxes of pastors are complicated. Not only do they have a dual tax status but also a portion of their ministerial income can be designated as something called housing allowance. Many tax professionals do not understand either of these tax issues, which can result in costly mistakes on tax returns. To ensure that your return is filed accurately and that you are minimizing your tax burden, let us prepare and file your return for you.  ​​

We charge $225 for a federal tax return for a pastor with one W-2 and one 1099 (which includes a Form 1040, Schedule C, Schedule SE, and Form ES). For additional W-2s and 1099s, we charge $25 per form and, for additional Schedule Cs, we charge $35 per schedule.

 

For a non-pastoral tax return with one W-2 and 1099 on a Form 1040, we charge $125. For additional W-2s and 1099s, we charge $25 per form and, for additional Schedule Cs, we charge $35 per schedule.

For state tax returns, we charge $50. 

For tax extensions, we charge $25.
