Thank you!

 

When/how can we deduct moving costs for health reasons?

 

Reason for the Q: are elderly, in our 70's.

Wife has cancer and has big health problems.

We sold home and moved to a 'better climate'.

Can we deduct any moving costs?

 

 


Sorry, you cannot deduct moving expenses.  As previously stated, moving expenses are not deductible on a federal tax return due to the tax code changes in effect for tax years 2018 thru 2025.

Only active duty military personnel on Permanent Change of Station orders can deduct moving expenses on a federal tax return.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for the tax code changes - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-reform/help/how-will-tax-reform-affect-my-federal-tax-return/0...
