Self-employed

Hi, thank you for using Intuit turbotax Live Community

The requirement is start work in a new location or what the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) calls an eligible relocation. This definition does not mention that it must be a new employer just a new location to start work.  CRA has information at the following link.

Review the link above and if you have further questions regarding the claim or the documentation required please contact the CRA

TurboTax also has a great article with moving expense information:
