Question

Should I amend my taxes? I just filed a 1040 as an independent and forgot to add my rent statements.

I am an 18 year old independent, who worked, went to college and rented an apartment separate from college. I added both m college expenses and W-2s but I was recently told that you are supposed to report the rent you pay for benefits if you are under a certain threshold.

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.
