I am self-employed but spouse is minister with housing allowance for only half of 2019.

I am self-employed but spouse is minister with housing allowance for only half of 2019. When entering house deductions in my Schedule C, do I include items we paid for with the Housing Allowance?

You will need to enter two different Self-Employment activities.

 

As both activities are separate from each other. 

You will report your business on its own Schedule C.

 

You can then add another Schedule C to report the housing allowance for your spouse.  Your spouse should have received a W-2 Form.  Make sure to select that they are a member of the clergy.  TurboTax will walk you through the steps and will ask for your housing allowance once you mark this box.
