Investors & landlords

If you are claiming a state renter's credit, enter your portion of the rent you paid, and let us know what state you are filing in.   

 

There is no tax deduction for rent paid on your federal return.   The rental properties section in the federal interview of TurboTax is for taxpayers that own and rent out real estate for rental income.   If you don't own rental properties, you can skip that section.
