moving expenses

can I deduct expenses I incurred (such as moving van rental, gas, hotels etc) while helping move my son to his new job?

Level 15

No. Moving expenses are only deductible on a federal return for certain active duty members of the military.

Some state laws about moving expenses are different--but YOU did not move. Your son moved. What you paid for his move was a gift, which is not deductible. He might be able to use moving expenses on his own state return.
