My parents helped me move to a new city far away for work. If I pay
my for my parents' mileage when they were helping me move and look for
a new home, can I then deduct that as a moving expense?
I bought my parents their meals at restaurants while they were helping
me move and look for a new home. According to
http://www.irs.gov/publications/p521/ar02.html#d0e1163 , I can't
deduct meals for myself while traveling to my new home and searching
for a home, but can I deduct the cost of my parents' meals while we
were looking for my new home and then moving to it? Considering I
saved money and had lower expenses by using my parents' help, it
doesn't seem unreasonable to deduct expenses related to having them
help.
Thanks for your advice.
