No.    First---you cannot put a 2023 expense or income on a 2024 tax return.    You cannot just put things you forgot last year on the next tax return you prepare.   If you forget to enter something on a tax return, you can amend the return after it has been fully processed.

 

Secondly, moving expenses are not deductible on a federal return unless you were an active duty member of the military.

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

If you live in one of the states that allows you to enter moving expenses, then you can amend your 2023 tax return.
