Get your taxes done using TurboTax

When you entered the housing allowance, you should have also entered qualifying expenses. All of this is entered in the w2 section and is not entered again. The next screen asks about paying self-employment tax. If all of your housing allowance was spent (as I would suspect), then you only need to pay SE tax on wages. Please see Guidestone Guide for clergy housing tax deductions.

 

Be sure to select the clergy option when entering the W2 and TurboTax will do all the calculations.
