So think most questions and responses I have seen on this topic are rather confusing and Incorrect.. I especially enjoy people who do not use ProSeries having actual provable knowledge with references in the response.

Here's the part I think is missing from all details on this topic-SUPPLEMENTARY SHEET #1-This is the form the church or issuer of 1099-R should be providing for any retired minister receiving benefits that are deemed not taxable due to this housing allowance. It is a basic form and although magically I can not FORCE SOFTWARE to write words SEE supplementary sheet 1 next to LINE as my CLIENT has instructed me to do, I do know that I calculated it correctly since only taxes due are on NON clergy funds received.  

 The form is very straight forward and when added as PDF to return can be efiled.
