The statements above about not being able to deduct rent are referring to the federal return. There is no renter's credit on the federal return. Massachusetts and some other states do have renter credits available but the rules for each differ based on the state. There is a section in the MA state return to claim the renter's credit in TurboTax. @PaulQ
