DoD Navy Employee Transfer

jason9mm — Mon, 03 Jun 2019 19:31:50 GMT

I have been transferred from one base to another. My new base is farther away from my home but not 70 miles farther than my last base. I have bought another home and moving a lot closer to my new job. Can I claim my move costs?

Doesn't the Navy cover some of these expenses?

Distance Test

Your move will meet the distance test if your new main job location is at least 50 miles farther from your former home than your old main job location was from your former home. For example, if your old main job location was 3 miles from your former home, your new main job location must be at least 53 miles from that former home.

Armed Forces. If you are in the Armed Forces and you moved because of a permanent change of station, you don't have to meet the distance test.https://www.irs.gov/publications/p521/ar02.html#en_US_2016_publink1000203454
