Tax Preparation Services for Clergy, Ministers, Pastors, Churches and Missionary Organizations

For the past 50+ years, PerCorp Inc. has prepared income tax returns for ministers from many churches and religious organizations. It can be complex, but our goal is to make it as understandable as possible for you.

Items such as the housing allowance, self-employment tax, accountable reimbursement plans, medical reimbursement plans and retirement options can pose challenges.

We work with many ministry/clients in all areas of taxation to keep you compliant with tax laws but also to make use of all the benefits that are available to ministerial clients through the tax system.

Our expertise includes:

  • Types of Housing Allowance
  • Compensation / Fringe Benefits
  • Professional Expenses: Accountable Reimbursement Plan (ARP)
  • The pastor as W-2 employee but self-employed for social security purposes

“My wife and I had just returned from the Central American mission field, and began looking for someone to help us prepare personal tax returns. Bob Bedford was recommended to us. We began using Bob’s expertise for our personal taxes in 1976. His knowledge of the special issues involved with ministers’ tax returns has been outstanding. In all these years there has never been a question raised concerning our returns.  After 44 years, we still turn to Percorp for professional service.”
