my initial question really applied to 2016 because I wondered if I made a mistake on that return. That year it was more simple. The employer paid the moving company then grossed up what they paid to include income tax, FICA, and MCR. I assumed that because the employer paid the expense that i should not deduct it on 3903. But maybe that was wrong since they did report it as income i get to report the expense. I have read Pub 521 and am not getting any clarity.
