I paid under $300 in Apartment rent last year. Does that qualify me for the State Renter ?

Which state?

Indiana

[ChristieB · Accepted solution]

There are some other qualifications that you must meet in order to qualify: 

1.) The rental property was located in Indiana

2.) You did not rent governmental-owned housing

3.) You did not rent student housing

4.) You did not rent property owned by a nonprofit organization or cooperative association 

But, if you meet all of the above qualifications, you should qualify for the Indiana Renter's Deduction. This deduction reduces Indiana taxable income and will appear on your Indiana Schedule 2 and your IT-40, Line 4.

How would I prove that I paid the amount I would put down, since I am also a cosigner on the rental agreement?

And When I am filing thew turbo tax?

Is TurboTax requesting you mail this information to Indiana while you are filing? Or are you asking for your own personal records in the event your entry is questioned?
