The rent you paid as a tenant is not
deductible on a Federal tax return. However,
some States have a renter’s
tax credit for a
personal residence or apartment. The States that offers renter's credit are as followed: Arizona,
California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Vermont, and
Wisconsin. If your State asks rent related questions while answering the TurboTax State interview questions, it will cover that deduction.
