Tax Benefits for US Pet Owners on the Move
Did you know that pet moving expenses may be tax-deductible? IRS Publication #521 (“Moving Expenses“) indicates that expenses related to moving pets can be considered tax-deductible relocation expenses when the move is due to a change in employment. We recommend consulting with your tax advisor to understand how these benefits apply to your specific situation.
