Can a personal loan for house count as HA

by Mark

My in laws have offered to give us the money for a house as a personal loan. They wanted to offer this to us as an interest free loan that we would pay back. Would I be able to count payments to them as HA. If so how would I have to document that in order to do so?

Properly approved HA
by: Lewis in NC

The church's properly approved housing allowance does not put limits on how you finance your house as a minister. To document this house expense, one would sign a written promissory note to your in-laws, including all the terms of the loan. In-laws would write receipts for all the payments you make to them which you would keep for proof of housing expense. Since Housing Allowances are approved a year in advance, you would have to know what you are planning to pay back for that year when requesting the allowance.

If you want to DIY your payroll, I highly recommend you look at using Gusto! It is very user friendly and their support is awesome! Plus they know how to set up and maintain payrolls for churches and nonprofit organizations.

Note: I am a "partner" of Gusto, but as I have told you before ... I never recommend anything that we or our clients have not tried and love =)
