The rent you paid will have no effect on your federal tax return. It is not deductible, so it won't affect your refund.

Some states have a 'renter's credit' that you can claim, but that would be done on your state return if your state has such a credit.

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, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wisconsin.
