I have a roommate that I split rent with. Is my monthly rent just the portion I pay?

What is the relationship between your rent payment amount and your tax liability?

I'm not sure if I understand completely, but I am a salaried employee and don't owe any taxes. 

The question is coming for the state of Michigan if that helps.

Report what you pay.
