Moving expenses are no longer deductible for federal taxes except for certain members of the armed forces.
See Moving Expenses to and from the United States
Georgia follows federal law so moving expenses are not deductible on Georgia.
Moving maybe deductible on the Pennsylvania return.
Expenses you pay or incur in moving yourself, your immediate family, your household goods, and your personal effects are only allowable as Unreimbursed Employee Business Expenses if the move is necessary for the convenience of your employer AND if you pass the distance test.
Distance Test
Your new workplace must be at least 35 miles farther from your old residence than your old workplace was.
Pennsylvania does not allow expenses to sell or purchase a home, and costs to break a lease.
You may not deduct pre-moving house-hunting expenses, temporary lodging prior to moving or the day after arriving at the new workplace location, and any costs or expenses not directly related to actually moving.
