Deductions & credits

Hey!

 

wouldn’t the below still qualify me? Below it says if there was “no current place of employment”

my first job is remote so it doesn’t qualify me

But my 2nd job in the new state is 8 states away from my old residence 

 


Publication 523 does not contain the time limit that is contained in the actual law, and if audited, the law applies.   The law says you have to move homes because of the job, and the job change has to occur while you own and occupy the house as your main home.

So the question in your situation is, did you sell and move because of the 2nd job?  Or did you sell and move for other reasons, and found the 2nd job later?
