Yes, if your income on your W2 is negative, you would just enter $0 in box 1.
A $0 return is when there is no income and no refund or taxes due, which causes the problem with e-file rejections.
Your housing allowance would still need to be reported on your return as self-employment income, which means, your total income would be more than $0 which will allow you to file your return electronically. Also, since you have been making estimated tax payments, you will likely still have a refund or tax due when you file, again, allowing your return to be eligible for electronic filing.
