Filing your personal taxes can be easier than it used to be. Unfortunately, what you could claim last year may not be the same this year. I have compiled a list of the common personal tax laws that have changed since last tax season on my website. I have also provided several tips that can help you get the biggest return possible without manipulating your tax forms. You can learn how to get the biggest return while following the IRS guidelines so you do not have to worry about tax audits or getting a penalty letter a few years after getting your check.
If you are planning on hiring professional movers, it helps to first understand the differences with the various types of movers. A popular type of mover to hire is a full-service mover. They go above and beyond just moving your furniture and boxes. Here are some of the services provided by full-service movers.
Prepare Mattresses and Sofas
The first thin full-service movers will do is prepare your mattresses and sofas for transport. Instead of just picking them up as is, they will take some time getting them ready and covering them in order to protect them for the move. With your mattresses, full-service movers will use mattress bags. These protect your mattresses from damage, pests, and dirt during the move. Not only are they helping to protect your mattresses, but you don't have to try and fight to get mattresses covered by plastic.
The movers will also shrink wrap or cover all your fabric furniture in plastic. Just let the movers know what upholstered furniture you want to protect the most and they will be happy to oblige. They will cover the furniture in large sheets of plastic before moving them in the truck.
Take Apart Furniture
Some furniture pieces move better and take up less space when they are taken apart first. For example, if you have a large L-shaped desk in your office, they won't be able to get it out the door as is. Instead, the movers will need to take it apart. This is another great service that full-service movers will do for you. Save your time and energy for other tasks during the move and leave the taking apart of furniture to the professionals. They will bring along their own tools and get furniture taken apart before moving it onto the truck. The other bonus is that when they move the furniture pieces into your new home, they will put them back together for you.
Packing Boxes
Did you know some movers also pack boxes for you? Many full-service movers, such as Bekins Van Lines Inc, will pack boxes if you don't have time or simply no interest in packing up your home. You can provide boxes if you have some you would like them to use or ask if they can bring their own. By giving basic instructions for packing each room in your home, the movers will be able to get everything packed safely and effectively prior to loading up the moving truck. This may be an additional fee, depending on the moving company, but well worth it when you have less stress about the move.
