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 Vermont, Michigan, Maine,Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, Rhode Island, California, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Connecticut. I don't know if there are any others.

I am in Indiana and can't find the renter credit. I know it is here because it asked me the question. I need to edit it and can't find it.

The Indiana Renter's Deduction is located on the screen Here's the income tax Indiana handles differently. Find the Home section. Start/revisit Renter's Deduction.
Indiana says you may be able to deduct up to $3,000 of the rent paid on your Indiana home. You may be able to take this deduction if:
Your "principal place of residence" is the place where you have your true, fixed, permanent home and where you intend to return after being absent.
Rent paid for summer homes or vacation homes is not deductible.
You cannot claim the renter's deduction if the rental property was exempt from Indiana property tax. Examples of this type of property are:
How much rent can I take off? You can deduct up to $3,000 or the amount of rent paid, whichever is less.
Who is eligible?
Anyone who paid rent on your principal place of residence AND rented a place that was subject to Indiana property tax.
Refer to Renter’s Deduction.
