Relocating To, From or Within Connecticut? Create Your Moving Checklist

One of the smartest things you can do when you decide to move is to have a plan for exactly how you are going to move, and for exactly what you are going to move. You might find that checklist by rooms suit you well, or checklists prioritized by time frames suit you better, or you may want to create your own checklist that incorporates both. Any way you do it,  you will need to organize your belongings.

First things first: When you decide that you are ready to move, and put your home on the market, start packing incidentals that you rarely use.  You won't miss them, and it will be one less thing that you will have to worry about.

Create your checklist :  You might want to organize it by room (living room, bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen), or by family member, or by types of items (outdoor items, seasonal items, clothing, pet items, etc.). You should begin creating your moving checklist  as soon as you learn that you’ll be moving. That way it will make the process more organized, much less stressful and it will also nsure that you don’t forget anything.

A couple of Helpful Hints:

See if you will be able to write off some of your moving expenses on your taxes. Your best bet is to call your accountant if you have one, or check the IRS’s moving expense guidelines to see if any of your moving expenses are able to be deducted on your taxes. Being able to get some of those moving dollars back later is certanly worth the effort.

Also don't forget to submit a change of address card to the post office, which will enable your mail to be automatically forwarded to your new address for one year. That is usually more than  enough time to let everyone know that you’ve moved and what your new address is.
