Designate your 2027 housing allowance the right way.
The clergy housing allowance is one of the most valuable tax benefits available to ministers, but it only counts if your church designates it in writing before the year begins. This complimentary packet gives ministers, church boards and treasurers everything they need to request, approve and record the 2027 allowance.
Designate before January 1, 2027. Allowances can’t be set retroactively.
