Each year Clergy Financial Resources publishes a tax organizer for clergy, which is designed to be used as a learning tool and reference guide. The organizer will assist you in gathering the information needed to prepare your 2015 tax return. We do this to provide you with better and faster service, but also to get you started with sound record keeping practices for the following year. In addition to the Clergy Tax Organizer, we also provide a state organizer. This organizer will assist you in gathering state information needed to prepare your current tax return. Please print and complete a state organizer for your resident state. If you lived in multiple states, please complete a state organizer for each state. The state organizer is essential and should be attached to your other tax material which can be mailed, faxed or uploaded to your CyberCabinet. If uploading to CyberCabinet, please upload the final version of the organizer to avoid duplicate uploads.
