How do i claim moving expenses for my son who moved for post secondary?

Students can only deduct moving expenses from the taxable portion of their awards (scholarships, fellowships, bursaries, certain prizes, or research grants), or from their employment income earned at the new location.

 

How to claim on TurboTax online:

 

  1. From the menu, select Find
  2. Enter moving expenses in the Find window
  3. Select Moving Expenses from the list of results, then select Go
  4. The Your Moving Profile step appears. Follow the on-screen instructions to claim your moving expenses
  5. Remember to always click on Continue or Done at the bottom of each screen to save your entries.

If your moving expenses total more than the income you earn at your new location, TurboTax will carry the leftover amount forward so that you can claim it in a future tax year. You can see this amount in the Review section of TurboTax.
