Get your house in order.  What you need to know about getting a housing allowance.

It is very important to make sure that all  paper work is in order for your housing allowance. The IRS is very clear that you need to designate the allotted amount of money that you are sheltering for housing allowance and that it is approved by Church Board, Human Resource Director or an approved Office of your Church. The housing allowance may not be post dated and must be approved before it is taken in advance of the payment.
