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.

Rent you pay for your primary residence, 2nd home, vacation home or any other "personal use" real estate is not deductible anywhere on the federal return. If your state taxes personal income, then some states have what's called a "renter's credit" on the state return where you'll deal with that. But you won't deal with it at all until you complete your federal return and are working on the state return.

If this is rent paid by a SCH C business you own, or some other type of business, then you need to provide that information so we can give you more specific guidance for that scenario.
