I am selling my house due to a job change. Am I able to deduct my real estate agent fees as a moving expense?

 

Deductions & credits

No. That is not deductible as a moving expense. Instead, when you calculate your gain from the sale of the house, you use it as a cost of selling to reduce your gain.

For what you can and can not deduct as a moving expense, see IRS Pub. 521
