When a taxpayer receives form 1099R with no amount entered in box 2a and a 7 in box 7 the entire distribution is handled how?

Also, my employer gave us a letter stating that up to $30K can be deducted as housing allowance if we have receipts.

Thanks, but the problem isn't that I don't know what I can deduct. The problem is that the 1099-R has no entry in box 2a and TurboTax then shows no taxable amount for my pension.

My solution, at this time, is to enter the appropriate amount into box 2a anyway and right-click on the box to add supporting documentation (my computations)

Did you see the "sub link" https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/entering-importing/help/how-do-i-enter-a-parsonage-or-housing-allo...

It appears to say what you did is essentially the correct way.

I received a 1099-R with one cent (.01) in box 1, and zero on all the other boxes. Do I have to file this 1099R with my taxes?

No, there is no need to file this Form 1099-R. With rounding, there is nothing to report.
