Moving Expense Deduction California

just_try_to_pay_my_tax — Sun, 02 Mar 2025 18:32:52 GMT

I moved to and from California in 2024 for a 3-month paid summer internship.
I was supposed to receive moving compensation from my employer and know the amount they would have paid me. However, I never followed through with the process, so I didn't receive any compensation for my moving expenses.
I also combined the move with some personal travel. My employer informed me of the prorated amount they would have paid using their formula.

Can I claim the moving expense deduction based on the amount they would have paid me?

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.
