I live in an apartment and pay rent. Should I enter the amount of rent I paid under the Renter's deduction section?

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 Michigan, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, Rhode Island, California, Indiana, Arizona, and Connecticut. I don't know if there are any others.

I hope this helps.
