where do I enter annual utility, water and telecommunication services deductions for a rental property, I live in?

You do not enter your monthly utility bills on a tax return.   Those are personal expenses.    If your state has a credit for rent, you can enter your rent 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.
