moving expense

Read a random definition: quantity discount

A quick definition of moving expense:

A moving expense is money spent when someone moves from one place to another. This can include things like hiring movers, renting a truck, or buying boxes. If someone moves because of their job, they may be able to get some of their moving expenses paid for by their employer. Moving expenses can be tax-deductible, which means that the person may be able to get some of the money back when they file their taxes.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: An expense incurred in changing one's residence. If incurred for business reasons (as when one's job requires relocation), most moving expenses are tax-deductible.

Example: John had to move to a new city for his new job. He incurred expenses for packing, transportation, and unpacking. Since the move was for business reasons, he can claim these expenses as tax-deductible moving expenses.

Explanation: Moving expenses refer to the costs incurred while changing one's residence. These expenses can include packing, transportation, and unpacking costs. If the move is for business reasons, such as a job relocation, most of these expenses can be claimed as tax-deductible moving expenses. This means that the taxpayer can deduct these expenses from their taxable income, reducing their tax liability.

Got it, thank you. I don't think there is much I can do for my GPA now since I only have 1 semester left for ug but I definitely will be studying my butt off for the LSAT.

20:32
Nice!

I really appreciate your advice, guys <3 Wishing you luck on your endeavors!

@madollyy: is that your CAS GPA?
madollyy
20:33
That's what's on my transcript! I haven't done that one yet tbh. I get mostly A's, some B's. Got dragged down a bit too much from one D in my first semester though ><
JumpySubsequentDolphin
20:34
do you have any A+’s? that could help your gpa!
JumpySubsequentDolphin
20:36
bc LSAC recalculates A+ to 4.3
madollyy
20:39
Noo :( Unfortunately. I'm surprised that I don't, there were definitely some classes that I remember scoring 98-100% but it doesn't show on my transcript
madollyy

Acutally

My university does not list A+
JumpySubsequentDolphin
20:42
yeah my university’s the same way, so frustrating! still a great GPA and with a killer LSAT score you’ll be good to go :)
JumpySubsequentDolphin
20:42
if you have the means, I’ve heard private tutoring is the way to go
madollyy
20:44
Fingers crossed! I mean I'd be so so glad to go to law school period, but I am a bit of an overachiever. Dream is Berkeley rn, but I'm of course happy to go anywhere that lines up with my plans. And is kind enough with scholarships lol
madollyy
20:44
I'll have to see if my parents are willing to support that. I'm living on my own but ik if it'd help me they'd be willing to help

20:47
who knows, you might not even need a tutor! Take a diagnostic and see where you stand :)

@madollyy: yeah that happend to me too with my community college transcript. You can try calling to see if they can alter your transcript but like mine would not do it.
Dkk
21:04
Ask @babycat to tutor you @madollyy
cat food is expensive tho
21:09
I HOPW THAT ISNT REAL
@JumpySubsequentDolphin: I would push back on this. I think for the vast majority of people LSAT tutoring is unnecessary.
21:09
oh its from nov 12 phew
21:09
i was about to have a heart attack
21:09
at the berk decision lmao
@madollyy: I focus on bringing your GPA up as much as possible in the last semester because once you graduate you cannot change that. So don't study for the LSAT next semester if you think that would impair your ability to get straight A's. As for LSAT studying, I would recommend LSAT Demon (ik controversial), the Loophole, and Reading Comp Hero.
*I would focus

@texaslawhopefully: oh I’m not sure hahaha im just basing off of my friend who got a tutor bc she was rly struggling and it seemed like it helped her!
Yeah, that's fair! For some people it can help a lot. I'm just saying in general I don't think it is necessary unless you are trying to finetune a very specific area (or get to the high 170s because that is another thing in and of itself) OR are just terrible at the test. I tutor the test and I find that most people can improve just as much through self-study.

that makes sense for sure

i think for her it was a lack of discipline more than anything else tbh. she could not get herself to meaningfully study on her own
