- OK, TELL US ABOUT OUR CLERGY HOUSING: Parsonage or housing allowance = 0 (put nothing or zero). Do fill in your qualifying expenses, continue.
This is absolutely incorrect. Box 14 is a memo field, it is not used by the IRS for official purposes, and Turbotax will not tax your housing allowance properly (it is subject to SE tax even though it is excluded from income tax) unless you enter the housing allowance in the followup interview. Box 14 is not enough.
