For a deductible fornmy tax return?

Rent paid is not entered on federal tax return.  Living expenses are not entered on a federal tax return.

Some states  have a Renter's Credit.  You will fill that out when you do the state return.

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.
