I have a simple question about the "Clergy Housing (Cash)" additional pay type. Let's say that the clergyman is to receive $24,000/year in clergy allowance and that we run payroll twice a month (i.e., 24 payrolls/year). Am I correct that I should enter $1,000 in the "Recurring Amount" field?

Let me share some information about auto-pay in QuickBooks Online (QBO), berthanicholas.
The Auto-pay feature allows businesses to automate the payroll process. It's to simplify and streamline payroll management for employers and ensure employees are paid accurately and on time.
Furthermore, autopay functionality is suitable for making payments of fixed amounts that remain consistent on each payday. Consequently, it is not feasible to utilize autopay for clergy housing, as the housing allowance is disbursed every fourth pay period, and the amount varies accordingly.
Additionally, there are two pay types for Clergy housing allowances, Cash and In-kind. Cash is used if the church provided funds to the pastor to pay for their housing. In-kind would apply if the church pays the housing and other expenses on the pastor's part.
Here’s how to set it up in QuickBooks:
- Go to the Payroll menu and select Employees.
- Locate and select the employee.
- Click the Pencil icon next to Pay types to edit it.
- On How much do you pay Employee? section, click the Pencil icon.
- Select the Additional pay types drop-down arrow and click Clergy Housing(Cash) or Clergy Housing(In-kind).
- Hit Save.
Once done, you should now be able to create a payroll with just the housing allowance.
