IRS Form 4029 – Fillable PDF for Religious Tax Exemption

Form 4029 is the official IRS application that lets members of recognized religious groups claim an exemption from Social Security and Medicare taxes. The form is short, but it must be filled out accurately to avoid processing delays.

What is Form 4029?

This one‑page, fillable PDF requests basic taxpayer information and a sworn statement that the applicant’s religious beliefs prohibit participation in public insurance programs. The exemption applies only to Social Security and Medicare taxes; federal income tax must still be paid.

Who Can Use Form 4029?

• Individuals who are members of a recognized religious sect that has a longstanding track record of caring for its members (e.g., Amish, Mennonites).
• Partnerships where every partner belongs to the same qualifying sect.
• Applicants must be able to prove continuous membership and adherence to the sect’s teachings.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Leaving the optional phone‑number field blank when a contact method is requested by the IRS.
• Signing the form without the required date.
• Using Form 4029 for self‑employment tax exemption – that requires Form 4361.
• Failing to have an authorized representative of the religious group complete Part II.
