Moving expensesYou may be eligible to claim moving expenses if, during the tax year, you move to be at least 40 kilometers closer to your new place of work or business.
Certain rules apply regarding the moving expenses incurred during the tax year, and we encourage you to carefully read the T1-M (as well as the TP-348 for residents of Quebec).
You may consult the T1-M form via the following link:

We also recommend that you consult the websites of both the Canada Revenue Agency and Revenu Québec for more information.

To claim the moving expenses, please follow the steps below:
1. On the "Left-side menu on the Interview tab", select "Interview setup".
2. On the right-hand side, go to the "Other topics" group, check the box for "Moving Expenses" and click "Next" at the bottom of the page.
3. Return to the "Left-side menu on the Interview tab" and select the "Moving Expenses" and on the screen to the right, choose the appropriate option, which is the simplified method or expense incurred.
4. If you chose the simplified method, in the page that appears, in the section "Temporary living expenses near the new or old residence", in the line "Number of days (meals expenses for travelling)", you must indicate the number of days of travel.
5. On the line, "Number of meals under the simplified method" shows the total number of meals consumed.
6. If you chose the page with actual expenses, you must indicate the total cost you paid for the total meals.
Take note that you must keep your receipts for expenses incurred.
Please note that moving expenses can only be applied against your income earned since the move.
The deduction for moving expenses will be carried over by the program to line 21900 of the federal return and, for Quebec residents, on line 228 of the Quebec return.
Federal form T1-M and Quebec form TP-348 will be generated by the program.
