Housing Allowance for Ministry

Person in the ministry has an amount for housing allowance in box 14 of W2. When I put in the W2, it shows $100 in taxes due. On another screen for ministry, it asks for the housing allowance amount  again and when I put that amount in on this screen, it shows he owes, over $2,000 in taxes.    When I put in the amount he actually spent on housing, it goes back to him owing $100 in taxes. I think it is adding the housing allowance twice.  How do I fix this?

TurboTax doesn't use anything from Box 14 entry on the W-2 page. Box 14 is a memo field and the employer can put anything there they want. You must also add the housing allowance at the specific question; you won't be double taxed.
