What section does turbotax ask you how many months you paid rent?

I paid rent 9 months out of the year, is there a section where I put my apartment info?

Rent for your personal residence is not deductible on your federal tax return and is not entered on the federal return. Some states have a renter's credit, if yours does, it will be covered in the state interview when you prepare your state return.

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.
