Can moving costs be included in first tax return in USA.
Hi,
I received so much fantastic help and advice whilst in the UK and going through my marriage visa process.
We have now been living in the USA for 8 months and all is great 😃
We're about to start pulling together all paper work for our first tax return here, and have read mixed stories about wether we can claim our moving costs on our tax returns?
Any advice out there/ people's experiences greatly appreciated.

So long as you meet all 3 requirements detailed here:

I claimed an allowance for mine back in 2005 when I moved from the UK to TX. Then when I moved out to CA from TX, and again when I moved back to TX.

Looks like we may be able to claim our expenses
we will get all the paperwork together just in case 😀
