Can You Write Off Rent on Your Apartment?
Short answer: No, rent for your personal home isn't deductible; a home office share can be for the self-employed.
A few states offer renter's credits.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
