Yes. You can deduct your moving expenses for this move as long as the two moving tests are fulfilled.
Before those tests, according to the IRS, "Federal tax laws allow you to deduct your moving expenses if your
relocation relates to starting a new job or a transfer to a new location
for your present employer. To qualify for the deduction, your new work
location must be a sufficient distance from your old home and you must
begin working shortly after you arrive."
As complicated as the following rules may sound, TurboTax will easily step you through:
1. Distance
test - The distance between your new job location and your former home must be
at least 50 miles farther than your previous job location was from that home.
2. Time
test - You must work full-time for a minimum of 39 weeks during the initial
12-month period that starts on the day you arrive in the new location. You can
still satisfy this requirement when the 39 weeks are not consecutive and even
when it's for multiple employers.
Here's what to do:
1. Open
(continue) your tax return.
(To do this, sign in to TurboTax and click
the orange Take me to my return button.)
2. In the
search field, search for moving expenses and then click the "Jump
to" link in the search results.
3. Follow
the onscreen instructions through the interview.
