Can You Write Off Moving Expenses?
Short answer: No for most people; the moving deduction is permanently gone except for active-duty military and some intelligence community members.
Employer moving reimbursements are taxable wages.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
