FAQs from Contractors Like You
What construction expenses can I deduct?+
Common deductions include tools and equipment, work vehicles, fuel, materials, subcontractor labor, business insurance, and a portion of your home office if applicable. We review your specific situation to make sure nothing is missed.
Do I need to send 1099s to my subcontractors?+
Generally, yes — if you pay a subcontractor $600 or more in a year, a 1099-NEC is required. We can track those payments and handle the filings for you.
How do I handle payroll for a crew that changes size by season?+
We set up payroll to flex with your headcount. Whether you're scaling up for a busy season or winding down, we handle the filings and adjustments so you don't miss a step.

Don't ignore it. Contact us as soon as possible — SouthEast Alaska Tax Service can review the notice, communicate with the IRS on your behalf, and help you work toward a resolution.
Can you help me understand my job costs and profitability?+
Absolutely. With organized bookkeeping, we can help you see clearly which projects are profitable and where costs might be running over, so you can make smarter bids going forward.
How often should a contractor meet with their accountant?+
At minimum, we recommend a quarterly check-in to review your numbers, plan for estimated taxes, and catch any issues early. More frequent contact is always welcome.
