Parsonage

The US Tax Code...

26 U.S. Code § 107 - Rental value of parsonages

In the case of a minister of the gospel, gross income does not include—

(1) the rental value of a home furnished to him as part of his compensation; or

(2) the rental allowance paid to him as part of his compensation, to the extent used by him to rent or provide a home and to the extent such allowance does not exceed the fair rental value of the home, including furnishings and appurtenances such as a garage, plus the cost of utilities.

(Aug. 16, 1954, ch. 736, 68A Stat. 32; Pub. L. 107–181, § 2(a), May 20, 2002, 116 Stat. 583.)

Like the Torah and the talmudic commentaries, a very short chapter and verse in the Tax Code has yielded volumes of interpretation by tax regulations and court decisions.

I can guide you through those regulations, and ensure that you receive your full benefit of parsonage.
