How do I enter minister's housing allowance

[Suzy81]

Hello! 
   For some reason, after I enter the 813000 code for clergy in the Business section, only 1 box comes up concerning housing allowance.  The following “interview questions” do not give any options to enter expenses in order to show excess amount on which to pay self-employment taxes. I am using the Home and Business download.  I would appreciate more specific info on how to enter this as “interview questions” didn’t lead where I needed.

  Thanks!

After you enter Business Code 813000, you are asked if you use the 'Cash Method' for accounting (Yes), and about 'Uncommon Situations', (none),  then you should get a screen to 'Confirm your Business Info.'

The next screen will have a listing of Business Topics.  Go to the Business Expenses section to enter your expenses.

Since you're using TurboTax Desktop, you can also view Schedule C in FORMS mode, and make entries directly on the form.

This question is for BrittanyS on this same topic: I have exactly the same issue - no W2, no 1099, received pastoral housing allowance.

But I am using Turbotax Home & Business desktop - and on the business tab, I cannot find any place to "add a business".  I've clicked around all over the place but can't seem to find that.

I am familiar with the process of adding a business and then the 813000 code. I just can't seem to find where in the product I can start that workflow?

Did you try “explore on my own” under the Business tab?  Once you click that, you should see a section “Business Income and Expenses”.  From there it should give you access to add a business and continue. 
  Hope this helps!

Thank you for answering.

Under Business/explore on my own, I just don't see any option for adding a business. I've gone in circles in that section and it just keeps walking me through my existing businesses under these 5 categories and then says: "that's all!"

Try the Business income and Expenses tab.  It will ask interview  questions to generate a Schedule C for self Employment.

I see no way to get to that screen from the Business tab - it just goes in circles with the same 5 categories of already existing businesses.

The Business income and Expenses tab is what I am on. What am I missing?

Please clarify your question. Are you trying to add 6 businesses to your TurboTax account ?

There might be some limitations if this is what you are trying to do.
