Which scenario meets the distance test for deducting moving expenses?

1. The distance between residence A and plant A is 10 miles and plant B is 65 miles

2. The distance between residence A and plant A is 5 miles and residence B and plant B is 55 miles

3. The distance between residence A and residence B is 60 miles

4. The distance between plant A and plant B is 50 miles

The correct answer is: The distance between residence A and plant A is 10 miles and plant B is 65 miles

The scenario that meets the distance test for deducting moving expenses requires that the new workplace is at least 50 miles farther from the individual’s previous residence than the old workplace was. In the provided choice, the distance between residence A and plant A is 10 miles, while the distance from residence A to plant B is 65 miles. This indicates that the new workplace (plant B) is indeed located 55 miles farther from residence A compared to the distance from residence A to the previous workplace (plant A). For a move to qualify for the deduction under the distance test, it must fulfill this specific requirement of an increase of at least 50 miles in distance from the previous residence to the new workplace. Thus, this scenario successfully satisfies the distance test, making it the correct answer. The other scenarios do not fulfill this requirement. For example, in the second choice, the old workplace was only 5 miles from the prior residence, and while the new workplace is 55 miles away from the new residence, it does not represent the required increase in distance from the previous workspace. The third and fourth options similarly lack the necessary distance increase or do not reference the correct comparisons between homes and workplaces, failing to meet the criteria for the deduction.
