How To Save Money

You can save money by selling items you no longer need. Be sure to take advantage of any tax deductions you may be eligible for. Trimming your costs by doing some of the work yourself is another option as far as packing and preparing appliances is concerned. However, for safety purposes, only the driver and crew are permitted to load and unload your belongings. While they appreciate the thought, please do not offer to help.
Hold a Moving Sale
You won't want to pay extra to move items you don't need whether it's two blocks away or long distance. So why not make some money from those items by holding a moving sale? Here are a few suggestions to get you started.
Take Advantage of Tax Deductions
CHECK WITH THE IRS OR YOUR TAX ADVISOR, but according to the Internal Revenue Service, you may be able to deduct your allowable moving expenses if your move is closely related, both in time and in place, to the start of work at a new or changed job location. You also must meet the distance test and the time test. The following information applies to moves within the United States. Note: Military persons should see Members of the Armed Forces in Publication 521, Moving Expenses, for special rules that apply to them.

Tip #16

You obviously don't wish to pack items you use regularly until you are nearing the date of your move. However, you can get ahead on your packing by packing items for holidays and seasonal items that will not be needed until after your move.
