Best of luck, Sri. Can you /others tell me what's the norm on taking provisional admissions in school prior to the actual move. Given its going to be nonrefundable fees (~1L Rs.) and my move (internal corporate move) not 100% fixed, wondering what others do. Couple of more thousands $s and roll the ...

Sai: Do you plan to visit any of the schools? What's the process you've in mind? I've a day in Dec when I plan to check a few. we can compare notes. My timeline is similar too.

Hi, I'm in the same boat, moving from NJ to Hyd. Kids will go to 6th & 4th grades. finding schools over internet has been proving a challenge, with many options available for CBSE, and limited for IB/Cambridge. I'll work around Bachupalli area.

I found Turbotax handling of schedule K-1 OK, but still everything was so opaque (the schedule K-1s probably deserve more blame for this...): I entered the info box by box, but still don't know what is my revised cost ...

Sam/Others, What's the experience regarding REITs for a tax-filing point of view? I know they just give a 1099, though not sure if that get's treated like any other 1099 from banks, or is there any special treatment again. I currently don't hold any out of my IRA, but would like to know while we are ...
