Form 9214: Moving Expenses Questionnaire
Form 9214, Moving Expenses Questionnaire, is an Internal Revenue Service form used in the examination of a return. The form says: "To assist us in the examination of your return, provide the following requested information and documentation." If more than one move was made in the year, it asks for a separate questionnaire for each move.
The one page form asks for the date and tax year of the move, where the taxpayer moved to and from, whether expenses are claimed in more than one tax year, whether the move was between foreign countries, how long the taxpayer worked at the new location, and how the employer reimbursed the move, including Form 4782 and Form W-2 amounts. It also asks for copies of receipts for all expenses claimed on Form 3903, Moving Expenses.
The taxpayer signs a certification under penalties of perjury, and the spouse signs if a joint return was filed. You can fill out the PDF free in your browser on this page and download it without an account.
