moving deductions

[picklejars]

most of my items are in storage as i haven’t been able to move into my house yet. am i able to deduct the storage expenses from my taxes?

also, i likely won’t be able to move until january, maybe february, so would i be able to claim the actual moving expenses in 2025 as well?

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.

Go to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Other Deductions and Credits>Moving Expenses
