GuideStone releases new edition of its tax guide

The 2015 edition of GuideStone’s annual “Tax Return Preparation and Federal Reporting Guide, Ministers’ Tax Guide for 2014 Returns” is now available. The handbook provides step-by-step instructions, sample forms and detailed help for active and retired ministers to understand the latest tax laws. The guide also has a special section about important federal requirements for churches that will be useful for church treasurers and other church leaders.

The guide was written by Richard Hammar, a noted CPA, attorney and widely published author who specializes in legal and tax issues for ministers. The material is edited by GuideStone’s compliance staff to ensure that it addresses in detail the tax issues directly affecting Southern Baptist pastors.

“Each year federal tax law can change and ministers have come to trust in the Ministers’ Tax Guide as they prepare their taxes or work with their preparer,” said O.S. Hawkins, GuideStone president. 

“It is a joy to hear from so many pastors who tell us how thankful they are for this guide and how much it helps them navigate the unique ministerial tax laws. We are blessed to be able to help them with the important task of ensuring that their income tax returns are correct.”
