CCH Presents Audio Seminar: Clergy and Taxes: Compliance and Planning, Issues and Opportunities

(RIVERWOODS, ILL., March 18, 2008) – CCH, a Wolters Kluwer business and a leading provider of tax, accounting and audit information, software and services is presenting a two-hour audio seminar entitled Clergy and Taxes: Compliance and Planning, Issues and Opportunities on Thursday, March 27, 2008 at 1 p.m. Eastern; noon Central, 10 a.m. Pacific (CCHGroup.com/AudioSeminars).

“There are more than 420,000 members of the clergy in the United States, but unfortunately, too often, their tax returns are improperly prepared and don't take full advantage of the tax laws,” said Joseph Gornick, CCH seminar manager. “In this seminar, Lawrence Dresner, an acknowledged expert in the field, will share his insights on the unique tax situations that must be addressed in serving this significant group.”

Program Agenda

In the program, Dresner will discuss the major tax issues involving clergy and their advisors: the IRS’ definition of clergy; clergy’s dual tax status as it affects withholding for employment taxes, Social Security and Medicare; qualified and non-qualified services; parsonage issues; accountable and non-accountable plans for business-related expenses; the “Deason Rule”; 403(b) Church Plans; and retirement plan distributions.

In addition, the presentation time will include ample opportunity for participants to ask their most pressing questions to Dresner.

About the Speaker

Laurence Dresner is a Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC), a financial planner for more than 12 years, an Accredited Tax Preparer (ATP) and a registered investment advisor. Mr. Dresner is also the author of Personal Finance for Clergy, a columnist and a public speaker. His articles have appeared in CCH’s Journal of Practical Estate Planning (“Clergy Present Special Opportunities and Challenges”), Financial Planning Magazine (“Ministering to the Clergy”), local newspapers and web sites. The Electronic Accountant interviewed him for an article about practitioners specializing in serving clergy titled “Clients of the Cloth.” His newsletter, Your Financial Advisor, is distributed to more than 4,000 readers.

Dresner is a member of several tax and financial industry organizations, including the Financial Planning Association (FPA) and National Association of Tax Professionals (NATP). His web site address is ClergyPlanning.com.
