Moving Expenses for Telecommuters

Feb 18, 2007 1 Replies

We recently moved and I would love to deduct my moving expenses, but I'm not sure I qualify. I telecommute (live in Texas, work for an office in California) and my wife works from home (salesperson). We don't really have a working location out here in Texas, aside from our home. Her "base" is about 5 hours south of where we live, mine of course is about 22 hours west. Any thoughts on if we might qualify for this deduction?



Thanks.

You fail the distance test. Your new place of employment is not 50 miles further from home than was your old place of employment. See IRS Publication 521.
