If you are not having any tax withheld, you will not receive a refund.  Your alimony is taxable, and your SS disability might be taxable depending on your other income.  Rent is not deductible on a federal return.  

Go to Federal> Wages & Income>>Retirement Plans and Social Security to enter your SSA1099.

To enter alimony you received:   Federal>Wages & Income>Less Common Income>Alimony Received

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.
