To claim the clergy residence deduction, type “Clergy” in the search box and add the section to your return. You must have a T1223 on file, signed by your employer to claim this deduction.

If you received free accommodation for your residence, we include your entry from Box 30 of your T4 in this field.

If you owned or rented your residence, only complete this part for the months where you did not receive free accommodation.

Note: You do not need to include the clergy residence address.

The breakdown on the T1223 form is not sent to the CRA when you NETFILE, only the amount from line 23100 is transmitted. Keep a copy of both the T1223 from your employer and the T1223 from your PDF copy in case the CRA asks to see them.
