Retired from the U.S. Foreign Service stationed overseas, couldn't move in right away due to renovations, can I deduct lodging while waiting to move into my home?

If possible to deduct, how many days of lodging are deductible?

Unfortunately, you cannot claim a deduction for lodging due to a renovation (even if it was part of your move back to the USA.)

Only a relocation because of a PCS could possibility claim this expense as a deduction related to a move.

Thank you for your service to our country.
