Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, moving expenses are no longer deductible for most taxpayers from 2018 through 2025. Exceptions apply for members of the Armed Forces on active duty who move pursuant to a military order. Neither pre-move house hunting expenses nor the cost of meals during the move are deductible for non-military taxpayers during this period.
