If you are retired clergy and have no clergy income @Tiny-Tim401 then you do not have to complete a Schedule C.
If the entire amount of your 1099-R is a housing allowance then it is tax free for retired clergy.
If there is no taxable amount in Box 2a of your Form 1099-R, enter $0 since 100% of your distribution is a tax-exempt housing allowance.
If there is an amount in Box 2a, enter a subtraction in the Less Common income section.
- Click on Federal in the left column
- Select Wages & Income at the top
- Scroll down to Less Common Income
- Go to Miscellaneous Income, 1099-Am 1099-C
