OT: Tax write-off for moving expenses

[Former SD resident]

Hoping a tax savy pig can help me. My husband is in the running for a job that will allow him to work from home (with travel to headquarters in SF). We have been looking to move back to SD from the east coast but not many company’s are hiring for what he does in SD, so we are excited about this opportunity. The company will not pay relocation costs, but they are willing to meet his salary requirements so if offered we’d take it. I believe you can write off moving expenses for a job related move, but does anyone know if you can do it if you work remote? Also, can you write off the commission when selling a home? We are pretty sure we could sell for what we paid our market it soft but nowhere near as bad as SD, but with the cost to sell it would net us less than we paid and we’d love to come to SD with a huge downpayment without raiding savings. Thanks.

You cannot deduct as moving expenses real estate commissions when selling your personal residence.

If you are not required to move for the new job, in other words your husband can work this new job from your present home, then you would not be able to deduct moving expenses.

If I were your husband, I would look for a job in Omaha, Nebraska. I won’t move to San Diego, mainly because it is a coastal town. Don’t ask me why, I am just saying, “if I were your husband”.

But of course, it seems nobody wants to listen to an unpaid soothsayer. Back in 2005, I told people around me in San Diego that there was a housing bubble or mania going on at the time, and it was the best time to sell. Of course, they said to each other, while snickering at me behind my back, that was I not only batty-crazy but doomsayer as well. Most of them bought or gorged up on huge houses at the peak. I sold my fully-paid house there, retired, and promptly left them. Who would want to work with idjits, right?

Anyway, the cost of living in San Diego is ginormous. Also, the Pacific ocean is not inviting anymore, given the scare of plutonium from Japan getting dumped into the Ocean.
