Thank you so much for clarifying this! You're correct that we did NOT receive a 1099-misc. I deleted the W2 with no salary(all boxes are empty except for box14-housing) and entered the W2 that has salary and housing. When I continued through the screens it did bring up a screen to enter housing amount. I combined both housing allowances and entered the total. Then entered the amount of housing we actually used and yes the difference was added back to our income total. The result of our refund stayed the exact same after these steps so the calculations must be correct.
My only question now is will this trigger a delay in processing when the IRS system tries to match the deleted W2 to our return?
