Reimbursed portion of relocation expenses

[NotSoFair]

My employer reimbursed a portion of relocation expenses this year, how ever it has not gone through payroll and no tax was taken on this. I am not sure if they will report it on W-2. If they don't, do I have to report this reimbursed portion on 1040? If so, where would that be?

Thanks

you would decrease any amount of allowable moving expenses.

So, if you had qualified tax deductible moving expenses of say 1,000 and you provided proper documentation of these to your employer and your employer then reimbursed you 600 of it as a tax free benefit, then you could only deduct 400 as moving expenses.

Oh.. ok. Thanks.
