DALLAS (BP)–Ministers can find help in preparing their 2006 federal income tax returns from GuideStone Financial Resources’ annual Ministers Tax Guide.
The 2006 guide details recent changes to tax laws and their effect on ministers.
“This year’s tax guide includes the features ministers have come to expect,” said O.S. Hawkins, GuideStone’s president. “The informative free tax guide includes sample tax returns with step-by-step instructions for active and retired ministers, as well as a special pull-out section regarding the federal reporting requirements for churches.”
An overview of the tax change highlights was written by Richard Hammar, a noted CPA, attorney and widely published author who specializes in legal and tax issues for ministers. The guide is edited by GuideStone’s legal and compliance staff to address the tax issues that affect the greatest number of Southern Baptist pastors.
The tax guide can be obtained in an electronic PDF format from the GuideStone website, www.GuideStone.org. Printed copies or a CD version can be obtained by calling GuideStone’s customer service at 1-888-98-GUIDE (1-888-984-8433) between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. Central Monday through Friday.
