Do you mean that you are the tenant who is paying rent to live somewhere?   Or do you mean that you are the owner of the property and you are collecting rent from your tenants?

 

If you mean you are paying rent to live somewhere:

 

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.

 

Not sure what you mean by "basic services."   Please explain.

As xmasbaby0 said, there is no deduction for rent on the federal return. Did someone tell you that there was?

 

As xmasbaby0 notes, there are deductions for rent in certain states. What state do you live in?

 

By "basic services", I assume that you mean electricity, gas, water, and so on, right?
