Reimbursed relocation expenses not included in W-2

Dear,

I moved from MD to CA in 2024 for a new job. My company reimbursed all my moving expense including taxes. In their report, the reimbursement amount was already calculated with Federal, State, Local, OASDI, and Medicare payment. However, my company did not include the reimbursed relocation expense in my W-2.

I would like to ask you how I report the relocation expense with my W-2. To my understanding, I cannot just add the relocation expense to my W-2, and I can use "Uncommon situations". Is it right?

Even if I use "Uncommon situations", I don't know which option I have to use in this case.

Please let me know how I can report this relocation expense not included in W-2.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

First you have to make sure that the moving expense reimbursement has been added to your W-2.

In this case, the reimbursement has to be reported as Less Common Income.

In TurboTax Online, open your return and follow these steps:

Click on Federal in the left-hand column, then on Wages and Income
Navigate to the list of Income categories
Locate the Less Common Income section and click on the arrow on the right
Click Start next to Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C at the bottom
Click Start next to Other Income not already reported on a form W-2 of Form 1099
Click Yes on Did you receive any other wages? and Continue until you arrive at Any Other Earned Income
Click Yes on Did you earn any other wages? and Continue
Check the radio button Employee compensation that was not reported on a W-2 and Continue
Enter the details on the payment on the page Report your wage income.
