If you’re an active-duty member of the military who was ordered to move as the result of a permanent change of station (PCS), you can deduct the out-of-pocket moving expenses to your new post, including travel and lodging (but not meals). You cannot deduct moving expenses for which you were reimbursed, nor can you deduct moving expenses that were paid for by the government.
For everybody else, the moving expense deduction is no longer available in tax years 2018 – 2025 due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) that Congress signed into law on December 22, 2017.
Prior to the tax law change, full-time employees who worked at least 39 weeks during the first 12 months at their new job location could deduct moving expenses that were paid within one year of the date they first reported to work at their new workplace, provided the distance between their old home and new workplace was at least 50 miles further than it was from the old workplace.
