I'm seeing mixed messages on the board about what is deductible. I moved for a job that meets the distance requirement, I've been here for a year, and while I received a sign-on bonus, it was part of my income and receipts were not required by my company.
Yes, moving expenses are deductible on your CA tax return. You will have to complete the Moving Expenses interview under Deductions and Credits > Other Deductions and credits. This will generate a Form 3903 that should transfer to your CA state tax interview.
From 2020 Instructions for Schedule CA (540) California Adjustments - Residents
Line 13 Moving Expenses – California does not conform to federal law regarding the suspension of the deduction for moving expenses, except for members of the Armed Forces on active duty. Non-military taxpayers prepare federal Form 3903, Moving Expenses, using California amounts. If you have excess moving expense reimbursements, enter the amount of moving expenses from line 3 of federal Form 3903 on Schedule CA (540), line 13, column C. If your reimbursements are less than your moving expenses, enter the amount of moving expenses from line 5 of federal Form 3903 on Schedule CA (540), line 13, column C.
