Ok so my boyfriend and I are getting an apartment together. It's $400 per month, nothing included. We will be renting the apartment from the manager at the club I work at (she's also the manager of an apartment rental company). I plan on paying her cash each month, and getting a receipt. My boyfriend and I are going to split the rent and all the utilities and other bills (cable, internet,etc.) 50/50. When I got my taxes done for last year, my accountant asked me if I had any rent receipts. Since I had never paid rent before, I didn't have any for her. Why did she ask for my rent receipts? Will they make a difference in my taxes? If they do make a difference, will it matter if the receipts I give her next year are for the whole amount ($400/month) even if I'm only paying half of that? I'm just not exactly sure how that works. Thanks!
