Ezra · ClergyTrak Assistant

Ask Ezra — your clergy concierge.

Short, plain-English help for pastors: housing allowance, SECA, year-end docs, and using ClergyTrak — grounded in IRS sources and the Playbook. Follow-up questions work in the same chat (“how do I do that?”), with sources shown under every answer.

This assistant explains general concepts for your own understanding. It is not tax advice, not a substitute for a qualified clergy-tax professional, and not affiliated with or endorsed by the IRS. Review anything specific to your filing with your CPA.

Tax year (optional)

Ezra Ready when you are

Hi, I'm Ezra, the ClergyTrak assistant. Ask me things like “What counts as a qualifying housing expense?” or “How does the housing allowance interact with SECA?” I'll answer using IRS sources and the ClergyTrak Playbook and show you exactly what I used below each answer.
