I entered my housing allowance (used) under business code 813000 and my unused housing allowance under other business income. However, my employer included my housing allowance in box 7 of my 1099-misc. Right now the program is charging me income tax on the total housing allowance plus the unused housing amount and social security tax on the used plus unused housing amounts.
One answer from a couple years ago suggested entering the housing allowance included in box 7 of 1099-misc as a business expense to remove it from the income tax calculation. If I do this the tax calculations are correct but the Gross Income on Schedule C is 1099 amount plus unused housing amount which means the "unused" is included twice. How can I make this work?
