I moved as I was allowed to remote telework and kept the same job in 2021. My home is now considered my worksite and my home address is listed on my telework agreement as my worksite. I moved 2300 miles and will continue to work at this site indefinitely. Am i able to deduct moving expenses?

    No

     

    Moving expenses for a W-2 employee are suspended until 2025 by the 2018 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

    Per the tax laws that changed for 2018 and beyond, moving expenses are not deductible on a federal return except for certain active duty members of the military.

    There are several states that allow a deduction for moving expenses on the state return:  AZ, AR, CA, HI, IA, MA, MN, NJ, NY, PA and VA  You can enter your moving expenses in the federal software and the information will flow to your state return.
