I did this for 2019 and it worked fine. I was on my way to doing it for 2020 and something went wrong. I followed the instructions and was able to enter the housing as a negative. It did not appear to work so I tried it again it was more than successful. It took the allowance off both in the W-2 wages (of which I had none) and in the "Other Income or loss" (where it did it last year). I went back and removed the item (only appeared to be one). That got rid of the entry under "Other Income or Loss" but not the one under W-2 income. I am pretty sure that is going to result in the return being screwed up even though the total income might in fact be correct. Trying everything I can see, I can't locate the amount anywhere in the W-2 section. The way my return came out last year appeared to be like what I had done in the past. I still haven't figured out how to see a preliminary 1040 since I still have some brokerage stuff to enter.
