Clergy, Rabbi, Priest & Pastor Income for housing allowance
Does Clergy Parsonage – Housing Allowance for Pastors count for
Covered CA & Medi-Cal MAGI Modified Adjusted Gross Income?
Parsonage – Housing Allowance for Clergy, Pastors, #Priests, Rabbi’s, Iman’s
- A minister – pastor ordained, licensed or commissioned who receives a housing allowance may exclude the allowance from gross income to the extent it is used to pay expenses in providing a home. Generally, those expenses include
- rent,
- mortgage interest,
- utilities, repairs, and
- other expenses directly relating to providing a home.
- The amount excluded cannot be more than the reasonable compensation for the pastor – minister’s services.
- If you own your home, you may still claim deductions for mortgage interest and real property taxes. If your housing allowance exceeds the lesser of your reasonable compensation, the fair rental value of the home, or your actual expenses, you must include the amount of the excess in income.
- The minister’s employing organization must officially designate the allowance as a housing allowance before paying it to the minister.
- Thus, parsonage does NOT appear (check with your own CPA or Tax Attorney) to count toward MAGI, subsidies – advance premium tax or Medi-Cal Qualification.
