Question

My moving expenses show zero on the summary and are not included in my federal return but are included in the state. Why wouldn't they be deductible for Federal?

Turbotax indicated they are deductible, and they are in there, but on the summary page for deductions it shows zero for moving expenses.

Moving expenses are no longer deductible for a Federal tax return.  You enter them in the Federal section anyhow, so that they transfer to the state forms in case the state(s) involved does allow them as a state income deduction.

 

(  Unless you are in the military, and moving subject to orders, on a PCS....... then a Federal deduction for moving expenses is allowed)
