What is this checkbox and how is it activated. I have a clergy with SE on wages and housing allowance butt his box isn't checked

Line 27b is part of the EIC calculation for ministers and the box should be checked when filing SE and claiming EIC. I am sure you marked the W2, Part II for clergy. Before we can submit any issues, we need to check using your information in a sanitized file.

If you would like to submit your file, we can look into your issue at a deeper level. See How to sanitize a client file and upload.

I started testing it out when I saw your question, and I don't see any way to get that checked.

At first glance, it seems to be a program error.
