Pastor's housing expenses

[spencer]

Pastors wife accepted job far away. Moved, paying rent (she's not a pastor). The job is expected to continue well more than a year (not temporary). The situation, however , is temporary in that her pastor husband will get himself reassigned and move within six months. So, do we have deductible duplicate housing expense? Do we have more pastoral housing expenses? Do we have anything/nothing?

It looks to me like we have two different tax homes, therefore, no duplicate housing expenses for tax purposes. The pastor would have the benefit of the housing allowance as long as he is in the pastorate and the other housing allowance criteria are met.

We have moving expense for her move, and then again when he moves.

Thank you. You've confirmed my thinking. Moving expenses (over 50 Mi) will be it
