Your church does the housing allowance as the IRC Code meant for it to be done (that is within the salary). In reporting the gross wages on the W-2 form the housing allowance is subtracted from the total salary and the housing allowance that was preapproved for the year can (optionally) be placed in Box 14 of the W-2.
