DALLAS — GuideStone has released one of its most popular publications, the annual Ministers’ Tax Guide.

The publications includes tax highlights includes information about annual contribution limits, standard business mileage rates, and key features from The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. It also provides step-by-step filing instructions for ministers’ personal taxes and comprehensive examples and sample forms.

Additionally, GuideStone ministry partners and church administrators have access to the annual Federal Reporting Requirements for Churches. This publication is included in the full tax guide or as a separate electronic copy. Both are available to GuideStone members online.

The guide was again written this year by Richard Hammar, a noted CPA, attorney and widely published author who specializes in legal and tax issues for ministers.

“Our commitment is to enhance financial security and resilience for those who serve the Lord,” GuideStone President Hance Dilbeck said. “The tax guide is one area where GuideStone seeks to make available the educational resources ministers and pastors need to take care of their financial well-being.”
