Moving Expense Deduction?

Hello,

Very last minute, but does anyone know whether moving expenses are deductable? Also, we used poor students to help us move so no official receipts. Any suggestions on getting a bit more off on 2008 taxes?

Thanks!

No receipts = no tax deduction

There was mention of a flat deduction for relo expenses somewhere on this forum, some outrageous sum, over 10K Swissies IIRC.

Yes, I think I remember that but it was for relocating here from another country. Anyway, I asked at the tax office today and they said that even with receipts you cannot deduct moving expenses within the country.
