Can I deduct mileage as a moving expense for a new job?
That depends. If your move qualifies, you may deduct the mileage if you use your car to take yourself, members of your household, or your personal effects to your new home. The mileage rate for moving is 17¢ cents per mile for 2017. A qualified move must be closely related to the start of work and meet both the distance test and the time test, as discussed in the FAQ below. For a complete list of deductible moving expenses, see IRS Pub 521: Moving Expenses.

I moved my family from Missouri to Colorado in Dec. Turbo tax keeps reverting to Military being the only ones who can right off this. Is that true for 2020?

How do you get the program to allow you to put in the info, given it only has a military moving cost?

@POCII Sorry---this is a really old and out dated thread. The tax laws changed for moving expenses for 2018 returns and beyond. You cannot deduct moving expenses on a federal tax return unless you are an active duty member of the military.
