Can I claim moving expenses if I moved out of Canada for a remote job that required me to move to the US? I am a deemed non-resident for the tax year.

Thank you for your question. 

As per the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), you need to be a factual or deemed resident of Canada to be able to claim moving expenses. 

 You can claim eligible moving expenses for a move to or from Canada if both of the following apply:

• You are a full-time student (including co-operative student), or a factual or deemed resident of Canada
• You moved from the place where you ordinarily resided to live in another place where you ordinarily reside

For more helpful information about moving expenses, please see Line 21900 – Moving expenses: Where did you move?  in the CRA's website.
