If the housing allowance you received from your employer was for "Lodging on Your Business Premises" then it would be excluded from income. The IRS rules state the following:

You can exclude the value of lodging you furnish to an employee from the employee's wages if it meets the following tests.

• It is furnished on your business premises

• It is furnished for your convenience. 

• The employee must accept it as a condition of employment.

Turbo tax did show this as Other - not on above list, which treats this entry as non-taxable.  What I'm trying to confirm is whether this housing allowance IS a taxable event, and if so, how to reflect it in the W2.
