Roofing

Roofing: the tax questions worth asking early

Insurance claims, material spikes, and crew swings make roofing income lumpy and the record trail complicated.

Decisions that change the picture

  • Working insurance-claim jobs where payment arrives in stages.
  • Buying material ahead of a price increase.
  • Running large temporary crews during peak months.

Records worth keeping as you go

  • Claim documentation and supplement approvals.
  • Supplier statements showing delivery dates by job.
  • Worker classification records and certificates of insurance.

Questions to bring to your tax pro

  • When is insurance-claim revenue counted for my situation?
  • Does buying material ahead help or hurt my picture this year?
  • Am I exposed on how my temporary crews are classified?
