Moving to college or a new job, there's a tax silver
lining
My eldest daughter moved into her first apartment off-campus
with her university friends last fall. We started our list of what
she will need for her new place, which will obviously involve a
visit to IKEA. As part of our list, we also had to think about what
else we need to organize, such as the actual costs of moving: Do we
need a moving truck? Movers? Time off of work to actually help her
move? I thought we would never need to worry about this after our
last move to our home, but I forgot about my kids and the fact that
this will be the first of many moves for her (and, who are we
kidding, me too, as her mom). At least I reminded myself of the
silver lining of any move: tax breaks.
