I have a $25,000 housing allowance from the hospital where I serve as a chaplain. My W2 for 2023 was for $28,000. I should be able to cancel $25,000 of the $28,000. If I do that, I have a good refund. If I enter the W2 amount and then enter the housing allowance of $25,000 there is a huge difference in taxes. So, can I just show my hospital income as $3,000, provide a copy of the W2 and signed housing allowance from the hospital? That gives me what appears to be the right numbers. Otherwise the software has a problem.
