I recently moved from Chicago to Boston and am planning on deducting the expense of moving my household on the tax return for 2010. When I moved I had to bring over a U-Haul and my car. I had a friend fly down to Chicago, he drove the U-haul to boston and I drove my car simultaneously. I paid for his air ticket to chicago. When the move was done, I also paid for his air ticket back to his home city. Can I deduct this return ticket air fare that I paid for my friend since technically it was expense to move my household?
Thanks
