On the Clergy Residence Deduction, Part A & Part B apply to my husband. He receives an amount in Box 30 as a housing allowance, and we own our home. Do I fill in both?

If you own the home you are receiving the allowance for, claim that allowance as income.

See links below from TurboTax Tips for more details:

Furthermore, these directly from the CRA.
