Can Renters Get a Tax Break in Utah?

Short answer: Yes: Utah offers the Renter Refund (Circuit Breaker). Refund of up to $1,412 for low-income older renters, based on income and a percentage of rent paid; applied for on Form TC-90CB or online through Taxpayer Access Point. Age 66+ by December 31, or an unmarried surviving spouse; full-year Utah resident; total household income under $44,221 (2025).

Applications are due December 31 of the year after the rent was paid, and online filing is open May 1 through December 31. Manufactured homeowners who rent their lot also qualify. 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.
