No.  Moving expenses are not deductible for anyone except active duty members of the military.  Using your retirement money to buy a camper or a truck is not deductible, nor is it any sort of exception to making that income taxable.  Ifyou are under 59 1/2 you will also owe a 10% early withdrawal penalty for the distribution from the retirement account, as well as ordinary income tax.

You will get a 1099R for the money you took from your retirement account.

Go to  Federal> Wages and Income>Retirement Plans and Social Security>IRA  401 k) Pension Plan Withdrawals to enter your 1099R.
