Investors & landlords

I'm not sure the answers given fit your situation.  Are you living in a church-provided parsonage and ALSO receiving a parsonage allowance in cash/money?  If this is the case, please provide more details.

If you are living in a home you own, and are receiving a parsonage allowance to pay for your living expenses, the amount that is tax-free is your actual living expenses or the FMV, whichever is smaller.  This means that you will only have a problem if the IRS for some reason thinks that the FMV is less than your actual expenses, and I can't think of many situations where that would occur.  Normally you can use your actual expenses as the FMV.
