If you did not enter the expenses for the move on your 2017 tax return you would need to amend the 2017 tax return.

 

See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a 2017 tax return originally completed and filed using TurboTax -  https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/amending/help/how-do-i-amend-a-return-in-turbotax/01/27372

For others reading this, be advised that, starting in 2018, moving expenses are no longer deductible. 

 

"IRS moving deductions are no longer allowed under the new tax law"

"Unfortunately for taxpayers, moving expenses are no longer tax-deductible when moving for work. According to the IRS, the moving expense deduction has been suspended, thanks to the new Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. In addition, the IRS states that “employers will include moving expense reimbursements as taxable income in the employees’ wages.” This is because the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act “suspends the former exclusion from income for qualified moving expense reimbursements from an employer.” "

 

"While most taxpayers will lose these benefits, military personnel are an exception. "
