Handyman services: the tax questions worth asking early
Small jobs, mixed materials, and a personal vehicle used for work. Simple on the surface, messy in the records.
Decisions that change the picture
- Using one vehicle for both work and personal driving.
- Buying materials on a personal card and getting reimbursed later.
- Deciding whether to form an entity or stay a sole proprietor.
Records worth keeping as you go
- A mileage log kept as you drive, not rebuilt in April.
- Receipts separated between job material and personal purchases.
- A business bank account used only for the business.
Questions to bring to your tax pro
- Is my current setup still the right structure for what I earn now?
- Which vehicle method fits my driving?
- What is the cleanest way to stop mixing personal and business spending?
