If my housing is a condition of employment and the employer charges me rent is the rent deductible as a business expense?
I work for a state park and it is clearly a condition of my employment and for the convenience of the employer that I live on site.
However they charge me a portion of the fair market rental value.
Is this considered deductible?
If so how do I report it on my Federal tax return?

No, it is not deductible. If this is your primary residence, this is a personal expense.
