This isn't a guide to filling out your tax return. It's a complete
tax advisor for contractors, revised to conform to the latest changes
in the tax code. Filled with the type of advice high-priced accountants
and tax "pros" give their contractor clients, it shows how to
set up and run your business to minimize your tax burden. If your company
is making money and paying taxes, Contractor's Year-Round Tax Guide can
save you thousands of tax dollars. This new manual:
- Explains in language any contractor can understand the tax
advantage of each form of company organization, how to handle
equipment purchases and leases, what the IRS allows and what it often
questions.
- Shows how to use the asset recovery system, what forms of
compensation are deductible, and how to protect your company from tax
traps that many contractors fall into.
- Describes corporate tax strategy and how to use it to your
advantage, why you should consider incorporating to save tax dollars,
what you should be aware of in contracts with others (includes sample
contracts), and how real estate can work as a tax shelter for your
company.
- Covers the tax advantages of profit-sharing and pension
plans, special tax shelters for builders, how investments can reduce
your tax liability, accounting methods that are best for contractors,
how to keep records that meet IRS requirements, and the best filing
method for your company. Includes a checklist of deductions you should
take and a list of what income is deductible and what is not.
This practical working manual has clear examples, diagrams and
checklists that can reduce the taxes your construction company has to pay.
If your accountant and tax advisor don't specialize in tax strategies for
construction contractors, you need this new reference.
