Deductions & credits

Your best option at this point is to request that the church issue corrected W-2 Forms. 

 

You should ask the church to separate the income during his employment as an employee onto 1 W-2 Form.

 

The other W-2 should show his housing allowance and his income earned after he was ordained.  

 

You will then be able to enter both W-2s into TurboTax.

 

For the W-2 where he is an employee, you would NOT check the box when it asks if he was a member of the clergy.  

 

On the W-2 form which is for his time as an ordained minister, you would select that he was a member of the clergy.   You will then be prompted to enter your housing allowance and fair market value of your expenses.
