Yes. You can claim the Massachusetts rent deduction for the amount of rent you actually pay (the unsubsidized portion) on your principal residence.
This deduction is limited to 50% of the rent paid and cannot exceed a total deduction of $3,000.
A principal residence doesn't include:
- Apartment or house of a student or faculty member who has a principal residence elsewhere
- Apartment or house of a nonresident who has a legal residence in another state or country
- Apartment for a person on a temporary assignment in Massachusetts
- Dorm room
- Hotel, motel, or rooming house occupancy where no rental agreement exists
- Nursing home or a retirement home for the elderly where no rental agreement exists
- Vacation home
