HOW TO GET MOVING TAX DEDUCTIONS
In brief, moving expenses must meet three conditions to be tax deductible:
- Incurred Within a Year – You incurred the moving expenses within one year from the date you first report to work.
- Outside 50 Miles – Your new workplace is at least 50 miles farther from your previous home than your prior workplace was.
- You Work Full-Time – You work full-time for an employer in the general vicinity of the new job location for 39 weeks during the 12 months right after your move. If you are self-employed, you must also work at least 78 weeks during the 24 months right after your move.
