TIP: The USPS will forward mail
addressed to your old residence for a
full year. That should be plenty of time
for you to update everyone else!
 Internal Revenue Service
TIP: As an additional security measure,
not all post offices forward government
checks. If you move after filing a tax
return but before you get your refund,
you will need to fill out Form 8822 and
send it to the IRS.
 Voter Registration
TIP: When you change your address,
your old voter registration card won’t be
valid anymore, even if you stayed in the
same state. Make sure you get a new
one so you go to the right polling place
and can vote without any holdups.
