Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If the amount is listed on your W2 you do not enter it again. See How do I enter a parsonage or housing allowance reported on a W-2?

 

Ministers can exclude from their income a rental allowance or the fair rental value of a parsonage that is provided to them as pay for their services. This exemption applies only for income tax purposes. The exclusion does not apply to self-employment taxes. For a payment to qualify for the income tax exclusion, the church must officially designate it as a housing or rental allowance before it is actually paid. A definite amount must be designated.
