Tips To Do Before Moving
One Month Before Moving...
- Obtain an IRS Change of Address form by calling 1-800-829-1040. For moving expense deductions, request Form 3903.
- Gather moving supplies, boxes, tape, rope, etc.
- If you are moving far away, make any necessary travel arrangements like airline, hotel, and rental car reservations. Plan your travel route if driving.
- Call a moving company or make truck rental reservations to move yourself.
- If you are moving yourself, reserve temporary storage space if needed.
- Finalize real estate and apartment rental needs.
- Place legal, medical, and insurance records in a safe and accessible place.
- Use the Change of Address form to tell the Post Office of your move.
- Give your mailers your new address: friends and family, banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions, doctors, dentists and other service providers, state and federal tax authorities, any government agencies as needed, IRS, magazine publishers, and business mailers.
- Save moving receipts (many moving expenses are tax deductible).
- Plan your moving budget.
