On September 1st, 2018, Mr. Payton moves from Sudbury to Ottawa (Ottawa is 484 kilometers from Sudbury) for a new job.
He lived in a rented apartment in Sudbury and purchased a house in Ottawa.
The total cost of the actual move, including the costs of moving his personal possessions, was $16,500.
He paid $500 to the cleaners to clean the rented home and hand it over to the landlord as per his tenancy contract.
He spent $750 on a house hunting trip to Ottawa, but he did not decide on a house until his return to Sudbury.
He also incurred a $2,000 penalty for breaking his lease in Sudbury.
He also incurred $150 of mail forwarding cost to his new address.
He also paid $200 expenses for various utilities connections at his new address in Ottawa.
During the year, his salary totaled $60,000, of which $45,000 was earned in Sudbury and the remaining $15,000 was earned in Ottawa.

Ilene rents her second home. During the year, Ilene reported a net loss of $10,600 from the rental. If Ilene is an active participant in the rental and her AGI is $133,000, how much of the loss can she deduct against ordinary income in the year?
Amanda (who is single) just sold her house and moved from Phoenix to L.A. to start a new job one year ago. At that time, she excluded $250,000 of gain on the sale of her home under Section 121. Now, her employer has decided to relocate her again from L.A. to Cincinnati. Her employer has given her the option of either relocating now or waiting until the end of next year. She would like to use Section 121 to exclude part of the gain on the sale of her new home in L.A. The home in L.A. has an adjusted basis of $230,000 (includes $10,000 of depreciation due to the home office deduction) and a FMV of $430,000. Amanda is excited because she believes she will be able to fully exclude her entire gain from her taxable income regardless of when she moves. Is she correct? Please explain your reasoning and what amount of gain Amanda will be required to recognize in this transaction. What would you recommend to Amanda if she wishes to optimize her Section 121 deduction?
