Nov 30, 2017 Housing Allowance for Ministers by: Vickey The housing allowance exclusion is a tax benefit for qualifying ministers in which part or all of their "ministerial income" can be designated as a housing allowance. To qualify for that exclusion you have to be classified a minister (clergy) for tax purposes. There is five separate tests that an individual should satisfy. See them on this page: https://www.freechurchaccounting.com/clergytax.html Or go to Topics (navigation links at top of page) ---> Minister Taxes ---> and scroll down to "Clergy (Minister) Taxes". I don't believe your wife would qualify under those conditions.
