More details about your move would be necessary to determine if your move is deductible..
When claiming unreimbursed moving expenses. you can also include the
cost of traveling to the new location for yourself and other members of your
household. You can include the actual cost of oil, gasoline, parking fees and
highway tolls. In lieu of using the actual cost of gasoline and oil, the IRS
permits you to calculate those costs using the standard mileage rate.
For
a long move, you might include the cost of lodging at a hotel on
the way to your new home. Other reasonable
moving expenses may include the cost of rental trucks, short-term storage, and
boxes.
There
are the 2 tests that must be met to be able to deduct moving expenses:
1.
Distance test - The distance between your
new job and your former home must be at least 50 miles farther than your
previous employer is 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.
(Typically, this means you start and hold a new job within 3 months of your
move.)
