Hazard insurance is an allowable expense for the housing allowance. Of course, you can't just deduct expenses. A housing allowance must be designated in advance and in writing by the church. If the church designated a $10,000 housing allowance, it doesn't matter if your qualified expenses are $10,001 or $20,000; you can only exclude the $10,000 amount that was designated in advance.
Recoverable depreciation means you have a replacement cost policy and the insurance company is paying you more than the depreciated value of the property. In the case of a roof, the insurance company may say that, although the roof will cost $5000 to repair, because of it's age it is only worth $3000. That $2000 is recoverable depreciation.Still have questions?
