    Deducting house rent paid as tenant
    Hi,

    Can one deduct house rent paid as a tenant in principal place of residence in itemized deductions (schedule A) of 1040 federal tax return form?

    Please let me know at the earliest.

    Thank you,

    Kaushik

    Rent is not a deductible item.
