I have eligible moving expenses for a move to attend school. I have no scholarships or bursaries etc to write this off against. Can I carry these expenses forward? How?

Moving to attend school is not deductible on a federal tax return, nor is moving to attend school an eligible education expense.

 

 

MOVING

 

Per the tax laws that changed for 2018 and beyond, moving expenses are not deductible on a federal return except for certain active duty members of the military.

There are several states that allow a deduction for moving expenses on the state return:  AZ, AR, CA, HI, IA, MA, MN, NJ, NY, PA and VA  You can enter your moving expenses in the federal software and the information will flow to your state return.
