Retired Pastor still working but not being paid.: what tax advantages are there?

by Angus McDonald
(Omaha, Nebraska )

Enjoyed reading your useful advice for pastors.

I’m a retired pastor who still evangelizes, disciples, counsels, mentors, consults, and coaches a minimum of 9-15 men weekly.

I retain a LIFETIME ORDINATION from the Evangelical Free Church of America.

I charge nothing for my services. My wife and I also make a large basement suite with bedroom and kitchen available to families free of charge (except for utilities).

Are there ANY TAX advantages for us?

 No Income No Deduction ....usually
by: Vickey

As far as I know, there would not be any tax advantages or deductions available for you as there is no income ... BUT ...

I am not a tax expert, so please seek the advice of a professional that devotes their time and energy to finding tax advantages for their clients.

There may be some "volunteer" miles you could claim... if you itemize...but that is hard to do nowadays =(

Thank you for the encouraging words!

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 =)
