CONGRATULATIONS!
You have closed on your new home and now you are ready to move!
The next few pages contain tips and checklists so that your move is as organized and effortless as possible. Think about your move as a series of small projects that you can begin while your home is under contract. Your move will progress as your contract and closing progress. That way, when the day comes to physically move your belongings, most of the details will be taken care
of.
Keep detailed records – *some moving expenses are tax deductible!
Keep detailed records of all moving expenses if your move is job related. Many expenses, including
house-hunting trips, are tax deductible. If your move is 35 miles or more from your home, you
can deduct your family’s travel expenses, including meals and lodging; the cost of transporting
furniture, other household goods and personal belongings; food and hotel bills for up to 30 days in the
new city, if you have to wait to move into your new home; and the costs associated with selling
your old home or leasing your new home.
*Note: First check with your tax accountant to make sure of all deductions available
in your area or state. |
