Rent paid is not considered as an amount for tax deduction. Pl. advise

Rent paid in and of itself is not a tax deduction.

But, there are some credits/benefits that are calculated based on one's rent or property tax paid, like the Ontario Trillium Benefit, Manitoba’s Education Property Tax Credit or if you work from a home office.

If you might qualify for any of these credits, TurboTax will prompt you to enter your rent paid in the right spots in your return.
