We moved our apartment within 25 miles of where we stayed and this was in December 2006. We did this primarily for being near to my wife's office.
Can I claim any tax benefits on this?

Since you did not change jobs you cannot claim moving expenses.

It is not far enough away in mileage to get moving expense on your taxes.
From www.irs.gov.....
Your move will meet the distance test if your new main job location is at least 50 miles farther from your former home than your old main job location was. Use the shortest distance of the most commonly traveled routes between these points. To determine this, first figure the distance between your former residence and your new job and then subtract the distance between your former residence and your old job. If the result is 50 miles or more, you have met the distance test.
good luck & bless

No. The rule is that moving expenses are deducible iff you changed jobs and your new digs are at least 50 miles farther from your old place of work than your old digs were.
