- Your move is due to a military order and a permanent change of station
- You weren’t reimbursed for your moving mileage expenses
According to the IRS, a permanent change of station is considered to be:
- Moving from your home to your first post of active duty
- Moving from one permanent post to another
- Moving from your last post of duty to your home or a nearer point in the US
