If the housing allowance you received from your employer was for "Lodging on Your Business Premises" then it would be excluded from income. The IRS rules state the following:
You can exclude the value of lodging you furnish to an employee from the employee's wages if it meets the following tests.
- It is furnished on your business premises
- It is furnished for your convenience.
- The employee must accept it as a condition of employment.
