There is not a deduction for rent payments for your Federal Tax Return. The main deduction is the Standard Deduction, which for 2019 for someone filing as Single is $12,200, Head Of Household $18,350, Married Filing Joint $24,400. This deduction reduces your income before tax is figured.

Some states offer a small credit for rent paid depending on your income and filing status.
