I am eligible to deduct moving expenses for moving cross country for a new job, but when I enter everything, I get no tax breaks or credits. How should this work?

I spent thousands to move across the country and Turbo tax didn't give me any deductions for the move after I filled out the forms. Shouldn't the moving expenses lower the amount of taxes that I owe?

Effective for tax years 2018 through 2025, the exclusion for qualified moving expense reimbursements applies only to members of the U.S. Armed Forces on active duty who move pursuant to a military order and incident to a permanent change of station. All other employees have only nonqualified moving expenses and expense reimbursements subject to tax and withholding.
