Problem
In June of 2016, Keith Silva accepts a new job with the same employer in San Diego. He formerly commuted 12 miles to a job in Canton, OH; San Diego is 2,150 miles from his old home. He incurs the following expenses in his move from Ohio in 2016:
|
Moving and packing charges
|
$4,900
|
|
Travel during the move (includes mileage at $0.19 per mile)
|
300
|
|
Lodging during the move
|
900
|
|
Meals during the move
|
350
|
|
Total
|
$6,450
|
Keith is not reimbursed for any of these expenses by his employer. What is the amount of Keith's moving expense deduction?
