A number of thoughts on relocating
expenses:
If a spouse/partner were being relocated by
their company, then the cost of the move will most likely be fully
covered. And thus, it's only fair for some companies to not offer
reimbursement for moving expenses (that some may collect twice in such a
situation). After all, why do you want a job in another
city?
Not only are companies cost conscious, they
may have been lost out too many times before when their new hire flew
the coop too soon, taking a different/better job in the area not long after
their arrival.
And if the move is 50 (or is it 75) miles away from
your old location, isn't it still tax deductible anyway?
If you don't own a house, your expenses wouldn't be
that great anyway!
