Archive - Tax Year 2024

In 2025, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tax season officially began on January 27. For tax year 2024, it is not necessary to fill out specific tax forms indicating that, as a member of a health care sharing ministry, you are exempt from the Affordable Care Act (ACA) mandate to have insurance. Furthermore, you are not required to claim an exemption, provide documentation of your membership, make a shared responsibility payment, or obtain an Exemption Certificate Number for your federal tax return. Please check below to see if your state has its own insurance mandate requirements.

This year’s tax donation letters (documenting your qualifying charitable 2024 donations) were sent out by postal mail on January 30, 2025.

Shares you are assigned to send to other members and to Samaritan Ministries (for administrative purposes) are only considered tax deductible if you are filing with the State of Missouri or the State of Indiana. For the 2024 tax year, we are not aware of any other states where this is the case.

Visit our Donate to Samaritan Ministries page to see ways in which you can make tax-deductible donations to the ministry.

For your 2024 taxes, there are special tax considerations in nine states for health care sharing ministry members.

These states include:

California
Indiana
Massachusetts
Missouri
Montana
New Jersey
Rhode Island
Vermont
Washington, D.C.
