It depends.
Your ability to claim the renter's credit depends upon which state you reside in and if they offer the credit. The IRS does not have a renter's credit.
TurboTax will ask you questions as you prepare your return. If you have indicated you rented in your state interview section, the program will determine if you qualify for a renter's credit and will generate the form as applicable.
Be aware any renter's credit is used to offset tax liabilities. It is not refundable.
