Hi, I have been renting an Airbnb for a couple of months. I am the tenant, so this an expense for me. Do you know if I can deduct this expense?

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.

As the tenant, you could only deduct the occupancy tax if it is a business expense.
