If I lived in an apartment for more than half of the year, but then also lived in college dorms, can I still qualify for renter's credit?

What state are you in?

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.

@xmasbaby0 This "sounds" like a college student. Don't know if it matters if they qualify to be claimed as a dependent, or not. I mention this merely because it's not common for an undergraduate to "not" qualify as a dependent.
