Do I need to send my tenant anything, so he can claim housing expenses (rent he paid me), on his taxes.

If so, what form? Thanks. --207.69.xxx.xx

Some states, Michigan is one of them, allow a tenant to take a "rent credit" on their State income tax.

Michigan does not require a statement from the landlord. The tenant will fill in the landlord's name and address and the amount of rent paid for the year.

I suppose the state could use that information to verify that we are indeed declaring the rent received on our tax forms. --4.165.xx.xxx

California also gives renters a tax credit. Landlords are not required to issue any kind of documentation or "statement". Tenant's are expected to know how much they paid their landlord. Hmmmmm $x times #months....... pretty simple. --66.60.xxx.xxx

OK, I thought it was federal, not stae taxes. My state does give rent credit. He was worried about it, since I don't give him receipts when he pays the rent.

Thanks for the responses --4.252.xx.x
