Moving Information

Question:

I'm moving my sole proprietorship from California to Maryland to pursue some opportunities in the film business. If I pay the moving company at the end of this year, rather than in early January when they will be moving my things, is that expense deductible in 1999? Please address the issue of moving expense deductibility for a sole proprietorship, and the issue of pre-paying expenses.

Answer:

Deduct your allowable moving expenses either in the year you had them or in the year you paid them. For instance, in 1999 you pay for moving your furniture. You deduct these expenses in 1999. In January 2000, you pay for travel to the new city. You can deduct these additional expenses in 2000.
Generally, the cost of moving your machinery from one city to another is a deductible BUSINESS expense. So is the cost of moving machinery from one plant to another, or from one part of your plant to another. You can deduct the cost of installing the machinery in the new location. However, you must capitalize the costs of installing or moving newly purchased machinery.
