Moving expenses are very limited. If you rented a car to effectuate the move, (put the boxes in the car, drive) then you can add it to the moving expenses. If you rented only because once you were there you needed a car, then no, it is not moving expenses.
If you use Pro Series Basic I might not be able to help you. If you use Turbo Tax I might refuse to help you. All others, watch out! ;-)

Good analysis there from Accountant Man.
Morons. I've got MORONS on my team. Nobody is going to rob us going DOWN the mountain. We have got no MONEY going DOWN the mountain. When we HAVE GOT the money, goin' back UP the mountain, THEN you can sweat.
