My previous year federal tax return is being audited because an error within Turbotax. Again, in 2024, the problem continues. With my housing allowance properly entered, there is no adjusted to my taxable income. If I remove the allowance, there is no change in the tax due. If I delete my housing allowance from the W-2 amount paid, then I see the correct tax amount resulting in a refund. I expect to be audited again for 2024 for the problem. I explained that I had a clergy housing allowance, provided a copy of the standard letter that I receive every year outlining the allowance from my employer, and that the only way I could get Turbotax to provide the housing allowance was to deduct the allowance from the gross income on the W-2. It has been nearly nine months and the IRS is still working on it. What will it take to fix Turbotax so it properly handles the allowance??
