Are moving expenses tax deductible?

For most people, no. Under current federal law, the moving expense deduction is suspended for everyone except active-duty members of the Armed Forces moving under military orders, so typical job-related moves are not deductible on your federal return right now. Some states still allow a moving deduction on the state return, so check your state's rules. This area of the law has been changing recently, so verify the current-year federal treatment before assuming you can or cannot claim it, and ask a professional if you moved for the military.
