    No Taxed Relocation Reimbursement
    My company moved me last year and paid for all expenses including four months of temporary housing. This is being reported as non-taxed income. How much if any of this is deductible. What documentation do I need in order to deduct these expenses?

    Thanks for the information,

    Ephillips413:

    You can claim the actual expenses associated with the move (the cost of moving your personal effects, the mileage between cities, the lodging costs (but NOT the meals), and the cost of storing your personal effects while in temporary housing. These expnses are claimed on Form 3903.

    You cannot claim the lodging or meal expenses for the four months of temporary lodging, even though the reimbursements were taxed. Many companies, knowing about this situation, often supplements the reimbursement in order to compensate the employee for the added tax.
