Yes. Contractors can deduct the cost of tools, equipment, machinery, and vehicles used in business. Depending on the cost, you may be able to fully deduct in year one using Section 179 or bonus depreciation, rather than depreciating over many years. We evaluate what's best for your tax situation.
Generally yes — if you paid a subcontractor $600 or more during the year for services, you are required to issue a Form 1099-NEC. Failure to do so can result in penalties. We handle 1099 preparation and filing as part of our bookkeeping and payroll services.
It depends on your income level and goals. An LLC is simpler to operate; an S-Corporation election can save self-employment taxes once your net income exceeds roughly $40,000–$50,000 per year. We analyze your specific numbers and recommend the most tax-efficient structure for you.
Texas has specific rules for contractors regarding sales tax on materials incorporated into real property. In most cases, contractors pay sales tax on materials at purchase and do not charge sales tax to customers. However, this varies depending on the type of contract (lump-sum vs. separated). We ensure you are collecting and remitting correctly.
