Owning a home and living in a manse

by Glen

I am not sure how to handle housing allowance and the reporting of fair rental value in my case.

I own a house 10 minutes from the church but the church requires that I live in the manse.

They pay 1/2 of the S.E. Tax on the Fair Rental Value, but that amount is still considered taxable income.

Any suggestions?
