MOVED
FEDERAL RETURN ONLY FOR ACTIVE MILITARY MEMBERS

Move from state to state due to a new job or base transfer, or closer to base. The cost to move you, your family, and the cost to move your personal goods, may be deductible on your State Return - Federal Return ONLY for Active Military Members if you meet the Time & Distance Test.
If you transfer bases & relocate just your "Crash Pad" and not your primary home, the costs to do so, are not a personal deduction but a possible Business Deduction.
