We recently moved and I would love to deduct my moving
expenses, but I'm not sure I qualify. I telecommute (live
in Texas, work for an office in California) and my wife
works from home (salesperson). We don't really have a
working location out here in Texas, aside from our home.
Her "base" is about 5 hours south of where we live, mine of
course is about 22 hours west.

Any thoughts on if we might qualify for this deduction?

Thanks.
