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, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington DC, and Wisconsin.

Maybe.  What state do you live in (not every state has a renter's credit)?

 

If you pay rent on your primary residence, you might be able to claim a state tax credit. There is no federal renter’s tax credit.


Please see this TurboTax FAQ for more information about your state: Am I eligible for a state renter's tax credit?
