Nondeductible Moving Expenses
The following items are now considered nondeductible expenses, although you may remember that some of them were deductible as moving expenses under prior law. If your employer reimburses you for any of these expenses, the reimbursements are taxable (and your employer should add them to your taxable income, as shown in Box 1 of your W-2 Form).
