How do I enter a clergy housing allowance when no 1099 or W-2 is issued?
I am a part time pastor who earns a small housing allowance designated as such by the church that does not even cover my housing expenses. Since there is no other salary, the church is not required to issue a W-2 or a 1099.
How is this entered into TurboTax online so that it is subject to the self-employment taxes but not subject to income tax? Previously my CPA reported it on schedule SE, and then has a statement section which is adapted from IRS publication 517 that shows it was all used for housing.
Any help entering this without a 1099 or W-2 would be appreciated. Accountants we have spoken with have confirmed we do not need a W-2 or
1099. I was hoping to save money this year and file using TurboTax, but
I am thinking we may have to go back to an accountant.
