State tax filing

Yes, I think I finally see the problem here...the tax expert section to which I submitted my original question should have instead been directed at charitable giving section, if Turbo Tax has one.   I guess I muddied the waters by mentioning that I can conduct my self employment business from anywhere that has phone and internet service, but I didn't think I had any business deductions related to the move to SC.

 

Miles driven for charitable organizations provides a standard deduction of 14 cents per mile.  My original question was - as a Virginian - are there deductions such as mileage from Virginia to South Carolina for which I'm eligible.  Are there other expenses such as housing and living expenses allowed for the time I am volunteering at the SC church?
