The IRS's moving expense deduction has been temporarily suspended since 2018. The only exceptions are for active-duty members of the Armed Forces who are required by military order to move because of a permanent change of station.

An amount with code "P" will transfer to Line 4 of Form 3903 Moving Expenses for moving expenses. Form 3903 can be completed for the amount of moving expenses paid by the taxpayer. If a moving expense deduction is computed, it will be reported on Schedule 1 (Form 1040) Additional Income and Adjustments to Income, on Line 14.
