Moved For Current Employer, Now They Stopped Paying For The Old Apartment

[whtreadaway]

Hi, All:

I moved with my current job 150 miles to a new city.  I had 6 months remaining on my original lease.  My Employer is now only paying for three months.  I will have to pay current lease plus the remaining 3 months lease for the original apartment.

Are there any deductions I can take as an non reimbursed moving (or business) expense?

No.

The tax laws that changed for 2018 and beyond eliminated moving expenses as a deduction on a federal return except for certain active duty members of the military.   Sorry---your rent, etc. is a personal expense.  W-2 employees cannot deduct job-related expenses on a federal tax return.
