Can You Deduct Moving Expenses For A New Job?

Feb 18, 2010 -

Can you deduct moving expenses from your tax returns? It's a question that many people have asked in recent times. With the tax relief package passed by the government, the average American is able to make some significant savings on his or her tax return. But what is this tax relief that you can get and can it really help you with your taxes?

The first thing you need to know is that this relief does not apply to you if you have an expense that is tax deductible. For example, you could not deduct a lot of the expenses you incur if you were going on a business trip to meet a business partner. These are both considered to be expenses that are not tax deductible and as such are not eligible for any tax relief.

So what does this mean to you if you are wondering if you can deduct moving expenses from your tax returns? The answer is that you can but you need to be sure that you have the correct amount of your expenses that are tax deductible. If you are planning to move to a new job and you are expecting this job to be less than two years, you may be able to deduct up to one hundred and fifty dollars per person for expenses you incur while moving.

If you have an additional household than you currently have, you may be able to deduct moving expenses that include not only the actual cost of the furniture, but the costs of renting or leasing the furnishings. It does not matter how large your new home is, as long as you can prove to your tax preparer that it is a necessary investment in your new home. You can also claim expenses that you incur in hiring a moving company to move your items from the current home to the new home and in the storage of those items when they are not being moved.

If you are moving into a different state and if you have a job there, you can claim the moving expenses on your tax returns even if the job is not for a year or more. If you are renting a home for at a certain point in the year, you will be able to deduct all of the expenses related to that rental.

If you are moving to a new house, but you are renting at the same time, you may be able to deduct the moving expenses that relate to renting your new home. even if you are renting with a new tenant at the time of the move. If the rent is going up, you may be able to deduct part of the difference in your current rent, not the whole amount. on the basis of the difference in time and location.

If you have a business that is moving to a new address, you can qualify for tax deductions because of the business' deduction on the purchase of your new business address. If you can prove that the move is a necessary part of your business, you may be able to deduct the cost of a business address and if you can provide the business address when you are filing your tax returns, you may be able to deduct all of the expenses related to the address.

If you have any other type of expense, it is important to get it listed on your tax returns and to prove that the expense was a necessary expense. It is important to also be sure that the expense is a necessary expense because it will be taken into account in calculating your deductions.
