Tax Reform - Moving Expenses Deduction

For taxable years, beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2026 the deduction for moving expenses and the exclusion for qualified moving expense reimbursement is suspended, except for members of the Armed Forces of the United States on active duty who move pursuant to a military order and incident to a permanent change of station.

IRC code section 217 allowed an above-the-line deduction for moving expenses paid or incurred during the tax year in connection with the commencement of work by the taxpayer as an employee or self-employed individual at a new principal place of work. IRC section 217 is amended by IRC section 11049.

The moving expense deduction is reported on Form 3903 and flows to Schedule 1, line 26.
