Question

On October 10, 2024, Rhett and Judy moved from Idaho to California for Rhett's job. For the California return, all qualified moving requirements were met. They paid $495 for a rental truck, $298 for gas for the rental truck, and $23 for packing materials to move their personal property to California. They also paid $220 for lodging on the way, $20 for tolls, and $59 for meals. What amount are Rhett and Judy allowed to deduct for moving expenses on their California return?

Answer 1

Allowed moving expenses = rental truck $495 + gas $298 + packing materials $23 + lodging $220 + tolls $20 = $1,056.

Meals ($59) are not deductible as moving expenses, so exclude them.
