relocation and job deductions?

Question

I am moving from ct to ca. Getting a new job. What deductions, if any, can I take?

Answer 1

Wow, this will be a great tax year for you if your employer doesn't reimburse for deductable expenses.

Here is the IRS site. It details exactly what you can and cannot deduct from your taxes.

Good luck at the new job.

Answer 2

You can deduct many of your unreimbursed moving expenses. See IRS publication 521 for details.

Answer 3

Not a lot.

1) The cost of moving your stuff.
2) Lodging along the way
3) Mileage along the way (one trip).

See Form 3903. I may be missing some stuff but the items above cover most of it.
