Through online seminars, the SBTC brings experts in the fields of minister taxation, church accounting and tax for training and dialog.
Churches need to handle God’s money in a safe way beyond reproach. Recognizing the potential pitfalls and staying up to date on the latest changes in laws and key issues is imperative in helping a church stay focused on ministry. These seminars are meant to inform and educate church leaders and administrators about church and pastoral tax laws as well as any new or revised tax law and procedures for the upcoming year. This includes minister taxation, worker classification, accountable reimbursement plans, tax-exempt status, unrelated business income taxation, charitable contribution practices, and much more.
We are offering three online tax seminars in January to help churches. Each seminar will share the same content, but there are multiple times available to fit your schedule. See event links for details.
