Best Answer

Presuming you mean in a personal, not business situation usually no personal costs (food, housing, utils., movies, car/transportation, etc) are deductible.

However, if a home is used as a business for all or some of the year, you can claim some of these expenses as BUSINESS USE OF A HOME.

ALSO, you can claim rent if you earn UNDER 18,000 dollars a year; mostly college students who make little money while going to school and paying rent, as well as senior citizens on social services and security.
