<prompt> Human: question is pretty much in the title. My new company contracted a moving company, an auto shipper, paid for my plane ticket, and one month in an apartment. My internal payroll shows these costs as relo expense - taxable and has a second field called relo expense - total taxes. These add up to roughly 6 thousand dollars but were not deducted from my paychecks, implying that the company paid the taxes as well. These two items are, however, both included in the taxable earnings total at the bottom of the section. nbsp; I already plan on itemizing my taxes this year, as I have paid thousands of dollars in student loan interest over the course of the year and have received the proper forms for that. Will I be able to also claim the costs of the moving expenses as well as any other costs I incurred while moving across the country for this job?  <response>: No, quite the opposite. You did not pay these costs. They are a taxable benefit provided to you by your company and as such you owe taxes on this value.
