After you file

Usually the housing allowance for clergy is reported in Box 14 "Other" of Form W-2, and is not included in Box 1, 3 or 5. 

If your housing allowance is not reported in Box 14 there is probably an error on your Form W-2 and you should contact the person that issued your Form W-2 to correct it.

You would indicate your housing allowance as follows:

1. When you enter your W-2 into TurboTax , you would indicate in the description box for 14 "Clergy Housing Allowance". ‌      (See screenshots below for additional guidance)
2. Then you will go through the next screens.
3. On the screen that says "Lets check for uncommon situations" you can select "Religious employment" and then select "Continue"
4. On the screen that says "Let's dig into your religious employment" select "Clergy" and then "Continue"
5. On the screen that says "OK Tell us about your clergy housing" enter the amount of your housing allowance.

To  be eligible, the pastor/clergy must be a “minister of the gospel” and be ordained, licensed, or commissioned by a church, convention or association of churches.
