Church Reporting

The Affordable Care Act created a refundable tax credit as an incentive for small employers to provide health insurance coverage to their employees. Last year a number of churches in Iowa qualified for this tax credit. To qualify you must:

• employ 25 or fewer full-time equivalent employees (FTE),
• pay average annual wages of less than $50,000 per employee, and
• pay premiums or contributions for each employee enrolled in the healthcare plan in an amount equal to a uniform percentage (minimum 50%) of the cost of the coverage

The deadline to file for this tax credit is May 15. For more information, download the 2011 Small Employer Tax Credit Memo that has been prepared by the Church Pension Group.

For questions or assistance in preparing the forms, contact Diocesan Financial Officer Robert Joy at rjoy@iowaepiscopal.org or 515-277-6165 x206.

Annual audits are required by the Canons of the Episcopal Church for all parishes, missions, and other institutions. The primary purpose of an audit is to assure that financial statements are fairly stated as well as to protect the persons handling monies and investments. 

The annual audit is due in the diocesan office by September 1.
