Yes, you should divide your moving expenses based on who paid them- if they were paid form a joint account, you should divide them evenly.
However, Married Filing Joint generally yields a better tax result than Married Filing Separate even if one spouse earns little or no taxable income.
See Is it better for a married couple to file jointly or separately?
To enter moving expenses:
Type in moving expenses in the search box, top right of your screen, then click the magnifying glass
Click the jump to moving expenses link in the search results.
Follow the onscreen instructions to enter

Hi, if only my wife moves, how should I report? Currently I only see a "I move xxx" option. Should I choose it even if it's my wife move, not myself? I can't find a separate option for my spouse moves....
Still have questions?
