Can Renters Get a Tax Break in Nevada?
Short answer: No: Nevada doesn't offer a renter's credit or rent rebate. Nevada has no state income tax and no current renter rebate; the former Senior Tax Assistance Rebate (STAR) program ended in 2016. Landlords who keep rents at or below HUD fair market rent can get a 3% cap on their property tax increase, an abatement meant to keep rents affordable. With no income tax to deduct, renters who itemize federally can deduct sales tax instead (6.85% state rate, about 8.24% with local).
Rent on your own home isn't deductible on your federal return; the exceptions are a home office used for your business or renting out part of the place you rent.
Records to keep: Keep your lease, rent receipts or a landlord rent certificate, and proof of household income. Check your state's current-year form and deadline before you apply.
