My housing allowance is my only remuneration so there is no actual income to report, so I do not get a 1099 or W2.
I cannot find any place in Home & Business that lets me add a new business (Clergy - 813000 code) when there is no 1099 or W2 to start the housing allowance workflow.
I do not want to go straight to the form because in the past it wouldn't let me file online if I do an exception like that.
In prior years this was possible - I just can't seem to find where to kick off the workflow this year. I go through everything in the "business" tab, and I'm not seeing any "add a business" option anywhere.
You need to enter it as though you had received a 1099-MISC for your clergy income. Go back to the 'Wages and Income' section and scroll down to 1099-MISC and follow the step by step guide there.
Here's a guide to entering the clergy housing allowance in TurboTax.
I am stuck on this screen. There is no button or link to do anything like add a business. What am I missing?
The only other link is one at the bottom that says "Done with Business"
If I click on the button at the top that says "Business Income and Expenses" it just takes me back to the prior screen. That's it, nothing else I can interact with here.
Kond of frustrating.
