Retirement tax questions

You would file part-year state returns for each of those states----but that depends on what states you are talking about.  There are a few states with no state income tax, and several states with reciprocal agreements.  We would need to know what states you are referring to to be more helpful.

Per the tax laws that changed for 2018 and beyond, moving expenses are not deductible on a federal return except for certain active duty members of the military.

There are several states that allow a deduction for moving expenses on the state return:  AZ, AR, CA, HI, IA, MA, MN, NJ, NY, PA and VA  You can enter your moving expenses in the federal software and the information will flow to your state return.

 

Go to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Other Deductions and Credits>Moving Expenses

 

 

 

SALE OF HOUSE

 

If your gain was more than  $250,000 filing Single, or more than $500,000 filing Married Filing Jointly the sale must be reported on your tax return.  Whether you re-invested the gain in to another house is irrelevant.  If you  have a Form 1099-S go to Federal>Wages and Income>Less Common Income>Sale of Home (gain or loss)

If you owned and lived in the home as your primary residence for at least 2 of the last 5 years on the date of the sale, you do not have to report the home sale if the gain is less than $250K filing Single, or less than $500K filing Married Filing Jointly (and you both owned and lived in the home for at least 2 years).

  • If you are using online TT, you need Premium software to report the 1099-S

 

 

NOTE:   If you have ever used the home as rental property or claimed a home office, you have more information to enter
