Line 26 – Moving Expenses

California law and federal law are the same for moving expenses. If you moved:

  • Into California in connection with your new job, enter the amount from line 26, column D, in line 26, column E.
  • Out of California in connection with your new job, enter -0- on line 26, column E.

If you moved out of California in connection with your new job and received compensation from that job attributable to a California source, your moving expense adjustment will be limited by the ratio of California source compensation from the new job to total compensation from the new job.
