You will enter your rent expenses for the renter's rebate on your state tax return. Turbo Tax will guide you to the spot where you can claim it, during the state interview. Not all states have a renter's rebate, so you may not be prompted to enter these expenses.

@Myagravis You have added on to someone else's thread that is already full of add-on posts.  We have no idea what state you are seeking a rent rebate for since you did not name your state.  We cannot help unless you can be more specific about your issue.  It would be better to start your own new thread instead of tacking on to an old one populated by so many other possibly unrelated questions

Can u help me apply for my rent rebate

April 25, 2020

It depends.

 

Your ability to claim the renter's credit depends upon which state you reside in and if they offer the credit.  The IRS does not have a renter's credit. 

 

TurboTax will ask you questions as you prepare your return.  If you have indicated you rented in your state interview section, the program will determine if you qualify for a renter's credit and will generate the form as applicable.

 

Be aware any renter's credit is used to offset tax liabilities.  It is not refundable. 

 

Rent deductions or credits 

 

If you have additional questions, please comment with your state so we can assist you further.

A "rent rebate" is usually part of your state income tax refund that come from filing a state income tax return. If your state has a rental credit, it will come up in the state interview.

 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.  https://www.rent.com/blog/states-with-a-renters-tax-credit/

 

For more specific advice, you need to identify your state.
