My ordained clergy husband was employed by 2 501c Ministries in 2020 and both gave us a housing allowance for clergy employment. One sent us a W-2 with Salary in box 1 and housing in box 14. The other ministry sent us a W-2 with box 1 blank and housing allowance in box 14. The problem is we can't efile now cause the box 1 is blank on that w-2. Was that ministry required to file a w-2 since no salary? Could we ask them to somehow amend so we don't have a w-2 and report the housing ourselves? My husband also has a form 4361 for clergy exemption on clergy employment for SE taxes. We only use the lesser of Fair Market Value or what we actually spent on housing expense. But we always estimate high then what we don't use goes back into our income. Just don't know how to efile now so any advice would be helpful! Thank you!
