Housing Allowance


Downloadable eBook (PDF File) - Free with the purchase of the Church Contributions eBook!


A housing allowance is the greatest tax benefit available to ministers. It is also one of the least understood.

Section 107 of the Internal Revenue Code allows “ministers of the gospel” to exclude some or all of their ministerial income designated by their church as a housing allowance from income for federal income tax purposes.

This section of the Internal Revenue Code has been in existence for over 50 years, but surprisingly there are still some ministers and churches that have never heard of it.

This 15-page eBook contains:

  • What exactly a clergy housing allowance is and what it is not.
  • What the qualifications are.
  • What your church must do to designate a housing allowance.
  • What types of expense are eligible and what are not.
