Yes it does, if you live in a mobile home on that space.

Yes it does, if you live in a mobile home on that space.

How about Federal tax? If yes, where do I enter it?

Where do I enter my space rent on my taxes for the year

There is one catch to the general answer "yes" to this question. If you own your home and pay property taxes on it, and get a Homeowner's Exemption that reduces your property taxes, you can't take the Renter's Credit. For example, I get a Homeowner's Exemption on my mobilehome, of $7,000. With the local property tax around 1%, I save $70 on my property taxes, slightly beating the value of the Renter's Credit. Whoo whoo!
