发帖数: 132 | 1 If I am going to move from North Carolina to Berkeley, CA, will $5000.0
relocation fee be enough?
We are currently living in two-bed room apt with our son.
The cost is airtickets, temporal lodging, household goods moving plus a
viechcle. But we do not how much will those items cost?
Also I heard that the relocation is to pay the tax, what does this mean? If
I have a total value of receipt of $5000.0, how much will I get from the
company?
Thanks very much! | m*******i

发帖数: 132 | 3 那就是，我们机票大概要1000块，移车要1000块，那么，搬家的那些东西呢？现在我们
是two-bedroom。
corporate housing about $2,000/mo 是指的什么呢？
谢谢啦！

发帖数: 132 | 5 那我是不是要去和他们说多一些呢？感觉是他们的standard package...而且，这个
relocation是要报税的，是么？ | b****2

对，这个会出现成为你的收入，但是，Relocation可以抵税，所以所有的花费记得要存
收据。
如果这是你的第一份工，$5-7500差不多，因为你毕竟要‘搬离学校）一般如果是‘跳
槽’会比较高。
如果你的车子很旧了建议不要搬来，东岸有见过雪的车这里卖不出好价格。 | b**h
发帖数: 55 | 7 Here I have the question about claiming the tax credit from relocation:
when I relocated, the air tickets, temperory living (for one month), car
renting (for one month) were already paid by my company directly when I
reolcated.
they also hired a relocation company to deliver household goods, new area
orientation, etc, and also they gave me some amount of relocation allowance,
this total amount were shown in my taxable income (box1 of W2).
So under this circumstance can I still claim Tax credit for my relocation?
Thanks. | b****2
发帖数: 173 | 8 First, you don't claim a 'Tax Credit' for relocation. You only 'deduct' it
from your income.
If you didn't pay for the air ticket, etc, then you can't claim.
However, the $5K or $7K pocket money will show up as your 'income', so
assuming you pay for your Motel, and eat in Restaurant, and car rental for
first money if paid by yourself, then you can deduct from your income.
Only 'out of pocket' i.e. your own pocket expenses that is related to your
relocation is valid for deduction.
Also, the distance must be > 50 miles in the relocation. For example, if
you have to move from Berkeley to Cupertino and obviously the company is not
paying for a 'local offer', you can still deduct the moving expense as long
as the new address is 50 miles away and the reason for the move is due to a
new job. | M********e
