Moving expenses are not deductible on a federal tax return unless you are an active member of the military on Permanent Change of Station orders.

 

Your rental income and expenses are entered on Schedule E.  The income or loss from the Schedule E is entered on Schedule 1 Line 5 with the total from Schedule 1 Part I Line 10 flows to Form 1040 Line 8 as additional income or (loss).

Moving expenses are not deductible on a federal return unless you are military and moving under official PCS orders. Additionally, you can only deduct those "qualified" moving expenses that exceed what you are reimbursed by the military.
Rental expenses for rental property that you own are claimed/deducted on SCH E. Rental expenses you paid to rent a place to live or in conjunction with your military ordered move are not deductible on your federal return. However, lodging expenses related to your military directed move not reimbursed to you by the military are deductible.
