Turbo tax added myself and  wife paying clergy self employment tax on housing allowance when I am the one paying it. How do I delete her so I don't pay twice?

    If possible, can you send us a diagnostic so we can see how this is treated in your return? The diagnostic will send us a "sanitized" version of your return, which removes all personal identifying information and all we see are numbers in the forms in your return.

     

    To send if you are using Turbo Tax online, go to tax tools>tools>send tax file to agent. When you select that, it will give you a token number to give to us.  

     

    If you are using Windows Desktop, select the online button at the top>send tax file to agent.  This will also bring up a token number. 

     

    Once you receive your token number, reply back at @DaveF1006 and I will look to see why the return is trying to report a Se tax for your wife.
