- Hello Fellow Tax Payers,
- I am a novice in this game of tax and deductions and I need
- a little help this year. Durning 1992, I changed jobs and moved
- from Florida to Ohio, of which the company paid for relocation
- expenses (moving van and packing and storing of furniture and
- personal effects, airline tickets, and temporary housing in a motel).
- Since the relocation was paid directly by the company, they did not
- pay any taxes and those expenditures will show up as income (I think)
- on my W-2. I do not own a home and thus do not normally claim any
- deductions outside of the "standard". The question is: can I deduct
- these expenses? If so, which form(s) do I use. I would imagine I
- would use the 1040 LONG form along with one or more schedules. Other
- than starting an IRA and praying alot, how can I avoid paying a huge
- tax (out of pocket) for this move? I read a self-help guide to taxes
- last week and in 500 words or more it talked about moving expenses as
- being deductable but did not explicitly name my situation as OK or
- NOT OK for deduction.
-
- Any help in this area is GREATLY appreciated. Also, is there a
- FAQ for questions like this?
