schirallicpa Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Guy moves to beautiful Western New York State to accept a new job in 2006. Claims a moving deduct on 2006 tax return. He is engaged at the time. She doesn't move with him. They get married in 2007. She moves in 2007. I had a family that the husband moved here and the kids waited til school was out to move. We were able to take moving expense over 2 years. In 2006 we took his. In 2007 we took theirs. Can I do that in this situation? She does not have job here. She moved because she is now the wife. In looking at the reference material I have, it refers to household members and does not specify the relationship of the household members. Any thoughts this fine morning?

indyscott Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 I would say that while moving to live your new spouse is a good thing, I don't think that tax code contemplates providing an actual tax incentive or compensation for the move. My hearty congrats to the newlyweds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
