<human>: Hello everyone,

A year ago I moved out of my parents house and in with a friend. At this time he had recently purchased a house and had a deal with the bank that he cannot rent the house (he is breaking that by having me rent a room.)

Either way rent is 500 a month and I pay etc etc. However this year I got slammed with taxes (from a 2nd job), and one of the biggest breaks would be to claim rent on my taxes. He asked me not to so he would not get into trouble with the bank.

I am starting to feel really screwed over here because I had to do a title loan on my car just to cover my taxes, and on top of that he most likely didn't claim the rent as income himself.

So my question is, should I amend my taxes because my roommate is somewhat fucking me over.

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: I have paid 6,000 in rent that I did not claim on my taxes. My roommate who owns the house also didn't claim the 6,000 he made in rent.
