Just to be clear, I never said that our move was not work related. In fact I said the opposite. As reproduced below from my opening statement, we moved to California to better manage our rentals there. Here is what I said again:
My wife and I are retired. Our main business activity involves 5 rentals (2 in Texas and 3 in California). We sold our home and the 2 rentals in Texas and moved to California in 2021. So this is not an employment related move, but it is a business related move to better manage our rentals in California.
So given this clarification, does it make any difference in claiming moving expenses? If we still cannot, I'd like to make sure I know the reason. Is it the time test, not filing schedule C, both, or something else?
Thank you!
