Moving expense deductions for self-employed
I see the instructions about deducting moving expenses for self-employed say you must work at least 78 weeks (1 ½ years) of the 24 months immediately following your move. I moved from NJ to FL in December 2022, started working in May 2023 as an independent consultant for a NY company on hourly basis. How do I claim this deduction since I can’t claim until 2024 (due to the 1 1/2 years rule), but the expense was incurred in 2022 and I answered “NO” to the question of moving expense on my 2022 and 2023 returns (since I can't claim deductions in these years)?
Thanks.
