Hello,

I have heard that if you have major expenses due to moving within the last tax year you can write off those expenses. Is that true, and if so, how?

Also, I have gone back to school, full time. So, not working currently but have student loans. How would I go about entering all of that into my tax return as well?

Thank you for any help you can give,

Megan H

Most taxpayers cannot deduct moving expenses for tax years 2018 through 2025. An active duty military member who must move because of a military order and permanent change of station qualifies as a deductible moving expense. See this link for more details:

When you use student loan funds to finance your education, if you are eligible, the IRS allows you to claim qualifying expenses that you pay with those funds towards educational tax credits. A tax deduction is also available for the interest payments you make when you start repaying your qualified education loans.
