If you are planning on a move, there is a possibility that you can deduct you moving expenses, but not all moves qualify. According to the IRS, you need to show that you started a new job or business or moved your business within a year of the move to deduct the moving expenses. There are some special rules for military personel, but for the rest of us, in order to deduct, your move must be related to a new job within the year.
Another criteria for deducting the moving expeses, is to show that the move is closer in space to your old home to your new job. So, if you are moving closer to the job, there is a good chance of qualifying for the deduction.
To qualify for deducting moving expenses, you need to qualify of both of these counts. So, if your move is related to your work in some way, you may be able to get a deduction.
