I was getting paid partially on payroll and the other part was paid directly from my bosses bank account to my landlords bank account
Sounds to me like you are not the one paying rent; your employer is. Therefore you would have nothing to report concerning this rental.Now if you are the one contracted with the landlord and you are the one legally obligated to pay that rent, then you first have to report the employer's rent payments as taxable income to you. Then you can claim any renter's credit on the state tax return if the state you're in taxes personal income and offers a renter's credit.
