How to Budget A Move

Posted on 16/03/2010

If you have a job offer that requires you to move to another place, your company probably offer a reimbursement move to cover your moving expenses. You can also deduct your moving expenses in your next income tax. You can even reimburse all your expenses if you drive your own vehicle from where you are to your new house. If you have plans to deduct all your expenses in your next income tax, make sure to keep all your receipts during your move. This includes your receipts to the gasoline station, movers, packers, packing supplies, etc. You can also include the deposit receipt from your new landlord. If you opt to hire a moving company, you can deduct your expenses from the moving company's service in packing, loading, moving, unload, unpacking, and other meal expenses during your move from your next income tax. You can also get a simple package from a moving company like storage services where you can pack all your things and the moving company will just provide you a storage truck where you can load all your belongings. Once you have put everything there, the moving company will take over and deliver it in your new place. You may also write off your expenses in this kind of service to your next income tax return. These things can save you more when you move. It may not be upfront cash where you can use it during your move, but at least you can write off some if not all your moving expenses through your income tax.
