Per the IRS Employer Update webpage:

Qualified Moving Expenses Reimbursements No Longer Excluded from Employees’ Income, with Two Exceptions

For 2018 through 2025, employers must include moving expense reimbursements in employees’ wages. The new tax law suspends the exclusion for qualified moving expense reimbursements.

Exception 1: Members of the U.S. Armed Forces can still exclude qualified moving expense reimbursements from their income if:

• They are on active duty
• They move pursuant to a military order and incident to a permanent change of station
• The move expenses would qualify as a deduction if the employee didn’t get a reimbursement

Exception 2: Employers may exclude from wages any 2018 reimbursements to or payments on behalf of employees for moving expenses incurred for a move that took place prior to January 1, 2018, and which would have been deductible had they been paid prior to that date. See Notice 2018-75.

Moving expenses are deducted on Form 3903 Moving Expenses.
