Parsonage amounts are reviewed and approved Reliant's Director of Organizational Affairs and Treasurer , and shall continue at that amount for future years until a new parsonage request is submitted and approved. Should the employee's actual housing expenses change during an interim period, the employee may request that Reliant review the parsonage amount and designate a new amount that more accurately reflects the employee's actual housing expenses. Requests for review and re-designation of parsonage allowance must be made using Parsonage Request Form to Missionary Resources . The decision to designate a new parsonage allowance is within the sole discretion of Reliant, and any re-designation will operate only prospectively from the date of the re-designation.

Documentation - Retain & Track Costs for Tax Filing 

The following actions should be taken by the Reliant employee during the year (after the parsonage allowance is granted).

• The minister should keep records of allowable housing expenses they incur throughout the year.
• The minister should track how much parsonage allowance they have received compared to the actual allowable housing expenses they have incurred.
• The minister should update their Parsonage request form to increase or decrease the amount of parsonage they're receiving when their year-to-date allowable housing costs are significantly different than the parsonage amount they have been receiving.
• When filing their taxes, any excess parsonage allowance should be shown as income on Form 1040 (see the Zondervan Minister's Tax Guide for additional details of this process).
