MOVING COSTS

[michaelmars]

This is a domestic move. the move qualifies for deduction. is the 30 days spent in a hotel from the time they sold the old home till they closed on the new one deductible???

No, it used to be deductible, for up to 30 days, but it is not any more, which is why the 3903 does not have a line for it. Just the travel time, lodging 'on the way' is how the instructions describe it. Just one more of the ways Congress finds to raise taxes without having to call it a tax increase, the loss of a formerly allowed deduction.

I KNEW THE 30 day rule of years gone by and got confused by the lack of imput lines on the form-thanks KC
