Generally, remote employment does not involve any relocation or moving expenses. You'll need to go into more detail as to why you may believe you qualify. Do note however that if you are a W-2 employee, then any work related expenses including moving expenses are no longer deductible.
Moving expenses are not deductible on a federal tax return except for certain active duty members of the military. Some state laws might be different, but NV has no state income tax.
Massachusetts is one of a small number of states that still allows a deduction for moving expenses. You can read its rules here:

You'll note that the rules don't specifically address those workers whose work is 100% remote and who can work from anywhere. If you claim the deduction on your MA return, it may strengthen your case if you can show that your move was required by your employer (just my opinion).
