My treasurer included my housing allowance as part of the salary in Box 1 of my W-2. How can I deduct my housing allowance when filing my taxes?

Housing Allowance--W-2 correction. . .
by: Lewis in NC

Please inform your treasurer that you need a corrected W-2 form. The housing allowance should be subtracted as an adjustment from Box 1. It can be listed in Box 14 as an optional entry. This means that a correction will likely be needed on forms 941 as well.

If you want to DIY your payroll, I highly recommend you look at using Gusto! It is very user friendly and their support is awesome! Plus they know how to set up and maintain payrolls for churches and nonprofit organizations.

Note: I am a "partner" of Gusto, but as I have told you before ... I never recommend anything that we or our clients have not tried and love =)
