Does My Church Need to File Taxes
AAnonymous
I have a very small church, which started over a year ago. I'm not quite sure if we need to file taxes or not?
My church Secretary/Treasurer is new to all of the church admin operations; she does not have a clue on how things operate financially,bless her heart, she has been doing her best in trying to keep and maintain our church accounting records, I know how this can be quite frustrating to say the least.
Still I would like to know for certain if the church should be filing taxes. We are not 501(c)3 as of yet.

No...if it meets the criteria of being a church...accourding to the IRS guidelines.
