I am currently renting a home - I do not own. Do I need to enter any of this information?

RENT

There is not a rent deduction or credit on your Federal return.  If your state has anything for renters you will be prompted to enter your rent info when you complete your state return.  As far as I know, the states that have anything for rent are Arizona, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington DC, and Wisconsin.

No, generally you do not need to enter any information about the home that you rent.

 

If you had a business and used part of the home in your business, then you would enter some information about rental expenses into your tax return. 

 

If you are eligible for a renters credit, TurboTax will ask you for the information. Please see this TurboTax Help article.
