Google search (terms: moving for medical reasons tax deductible)
Note this: In a private letter ruling (9030049, 1990) the IRS held that an individuals costs to relocate to treat pulmonary fibrosis was not deductible even though his doctor advised the move.
Therefore, I say that if you attempt the deduction on this basis, be prepared for a tax Court fight with the IRS if audited. There might also be a question of whether 100% of the expense is deductible or if it should be prorated by a lesser amount.
