Follow the steps to accurately fill out the form.

1. Click the ‘Get Form’ button to obtain the form and open it in your preferred editor.
2. Enter your social security number and the name(s) shown on your tax return at the top of the form. This information is necessary for identification and processing.
3. Complete lines 1 and 2 by entering the amount spent on transportation and storage of household goods, as well as travel costs incurred during your move (excluding meals). Ensure the amounts are accurate to reflect your moving expenses.
4. Add the amounts from lines 1 and 2 to calculate the total on line 3. This total represents your total moving expenses.
5. Input the total amount that your employer reimbursed you for moving expenses on line 4. This amount should not be included in box 1 of your Form W-2 and should relate to the expenses reported on lines 1 and 2.
6. Verify if the amount on line 3 (total expenses) is greater than the amount on line 4 (reimbursements). If yes, you can deduct the difference. If no, you will not be able to deduct any moving expenses.
7. If line 3 is greater than line 4, subtract line 4 from line 3 and enter the result on the appropriate line of Form 1040 or Form 1040NR, as indicated in the instructions. This value is your allowable moving expense deduction.
8. Save changes to your completed form, and choose to download, print, or share it as necessary.
