Excavation and site work
Excavation and site work: the tax questions worth asking early
Big iron, fuel, and hauling. Purchases here are large enough to change the whole year.
Decisions that change the picture
- Buying or financing an excavator, dozer, or dump truck.
- Renting equipment for a single large job.
- Hauling and disposal arrangements.
Records worth keeping as you go
- Purchase and loan documents for every machine.
- Fuel and maintenance separated by machine where possible.
- Hauling, dump fee, and permit records.
Questions to bring to your tax pro
- How should the machine I bought this year be handled?
- Does the loan structure change anything on my return?
- What should my quarterly estimates look like after a purchase this size?
