Howdy,
I receive a W2 with the unused portion of my housing allowance in Box 1.
I added this W2 amount in Turbotax, then continued through, selecting "Religious employment", and then on the Clergy Housing screen entered my Housing Allowance and Qualifying Expenses.
The difference between my Housing Allowance and Qualifying Expenses is the amount that was reported in Box 1 on my W2.
Turbotax proceeded to include BOTH the amount I reported from Box 1 of my W2, PLUS the difference between my Housing Allowance and Qualifying Expenses, on Form 1040 line 1. The result was Line 1 was showing exactly twice as much income as it should.
What am I missing? Where did I go wrong?
Thanks for any help!
