Clergy Housing Allowance and Home Insurance Claim Monies + Extra Expenditures
I am clergy and wondering what amounts would qualify toward my Clergy Housing Allowance. ($ breakdowns at the end of the question.) There is a much more complicated story here, but I am hoping a simplified example will help me fill in the blanks on my end.
In late 2022 I had wind damage to my home. The subsequent insurance claim included money to replace both my roof and some window screens. I was sent two checks in 2022 (an initial payment, then another that included recoverable depreciation, code upgrades, etc). I paid to replace the roof in 2022. I paid to have the window screens replaced in 2023. I deposited the first check in 2022, and deposited the second check in 2023. I also paid additional out-of-pocket for other roof and window work done in '22 and '23, respectively. (All funds were paid to me personally. I used my personal account to pay for all work done.)
What amounts would I be able to include in my housing allowance related expenses?
