tax assistance on relocation, where to put on 1040

Post by tony »

I moved to california last Nov 2016. I just received a report on tax assistance benefit of $x. I don't have anything to claim on relocation expenses as they're all paid by the company.

1. where to put $x of tax assistance benefit of relocation on 1040NR?
2. On my W2 box 12c, I have $y with code P. (But, I don't need to claim any moving expenses). Where to put this $y onto 1040NR?

thanks

You will need to file form 3903 to determine how much of that "P" income you need to include in your wages or if you get a deduction for expenses.

While your employer may indeed have paid all your expenses, you no doubt had to submit claims, etc to get reimbursed. Some of those claims can be deducted by you against the amount in box P.
After 20 years, I am severely cutting back on responses. Do not ask specifically for my help. There are a few others on this board that can answer most questions. All the best
