How do I deduct a clergy housing allowance to turbo tax

How do I enter a parsonage or housing allowance if I got a 1099-MISC?

If your clergy income was reported on Form 1099-MISC, follow these steps.

  1. When in your account, select the Take Me to My Return button on the main screen.
  2. Search for business code and then select the Jump to link in the search results.
  3. Answer Yes when asked Did you have any self-employment income or expenses?
    • If you land on the Your 2018 self-employed work summary screen, select Edit next to your clergy entry or Add another line of work if you haven't yet set it up.
  4. Answer the questions, and when you get to the business code screen, enter 813000.
  5. Keep answering the questions, and eventually you'll get to the Let's get your clergy and religious sect info screen. Select I need to pay self-employment tax on this income and then select Continue.
  6. On the next screen, you'll be able to enter your parsonage or housing allowance amount.
