Your new address's location will dictate whether your move is local or long distance. If your new residence is in the same state as your current residence, and the new address is within about 50 miles of the old address, your move is considered local. If your move is more than 50 miles, but your new town is in the same state as your old town, your move is considered intrastate. When your move crosses state lines, it becomes long distance, no matter the distance.
