Get your taxes done using TurboTax

It depends.

  • If the employer paid you through an accountable plan (see page 29 of IRS Publication 463), you do not need to report what was not already included in your W-2.
    • The reimbursing income you received would be offset by the expenses you incurred.
  • If the employer instead simply wrote you a check, and did not pay you through an accountable plan, this income is taxable. 
    • To declare this income, follow these steps:
      • From the left menu> select
      • Federal>Wages & Income>
      • At the bottom of the income already reported, click Add more income or scroll down
      • Less Common Income click Show More>
      • Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C click Start>
      • Other income not already reported on a Form W-2 or Form 1099 click Start
      • Click Yes>Continue>Continue>Yes>Employee compensation that was not reported on a W-2 click Continue
      • You will need to identify your employer, their EIN (found on your W-2), and your annual wages. The amount to enter for other income would be both your moving expenses and other expenses reimbursed by the employer. Then, click done. TurboTax will handle the rest.
