<prompt> Human: Here is the situation:In 2014 I accepted a new position at a new company in a new state and moved from my old state GA - has state income tax to my new state FL - no state income tax. For the first 36 days I was commuting between GA and FL for work while I was looking for a place to live - which I found on 12-28 of 2014.My potentially taxable events: Since I did not have a place that I could receive mail in FL I initially put my GA home as my address for first 36 days - because of this approximately 2k was withheld from my wages for GA state income tax The expenses I incurred for the 36 days of commuting plane, hotel, rental car were reimbursed by my employer I submitted a receipt, they reimbursed meHere is my problem: The tax consultants for my company say that the reimbursed travel expenses all of which occurred in the first 36 days are taxable income to me because when I began employment my tax home became FL They also say that I owe the state of GA the 2k that was withheld from my regular wages for the first 36 days because I lived in GA.My question:How in the hell can the IRS say that my tax home is FL for expense reimbursements and my tax home is GA for wages? If it is GA then I shouldnt owe taxes on my expense reimbursements, if it is FL then I shouldnt owe GA state income taxes..TLDR being told that I owe GA state income taxes because I resided in GA, but my tax home is FL because that is where my employment office is, and as such, reimbursed commuting expenses are taxable to me.  <response>: This may answer part of the question:The IRS does consider any reimbursements for temporary housing associated with a permanent move taxable. For example, if your employer transfers you to a new office and pays for your relocation, the IRS treats those expenses as nontaxable moving expenses. However, if your employer also pays for you to stay in temporary housing while you finalize the move out of your former home, then 100 percent of those payments are fully taxable.
