The Tax Reality of Running a GC Operation

Why General Contractors Face the Most Complex IRS Tax Problems in Construction

General contractors sit at the top of the construction food chain and carry the most complex tax obligations of any contractor in the industry. Managing multiple subcontractors, issuing 1099s, handling payroll for employees, managing large project deposits and draw schedules, and operating businesses with significant cash flow creates a tax exposure that is almost impossible to manage without dedicated professional help. When tax management falls behind and in this industry it almost always does the IRS debt that results is almost always larger and more complex than any other contractor category.

If Any of These Sound Familiar Speak with a Tax Attorney Today

IRS Tax Problems General Contractors Face Every Day

  • Unpaid payroll taxes and the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty. Falling behind on payroll deposits triggers aggressive IRS enforcement and makes GC owners personally liable for the full amount of unpaid employment taxes even if the business closes.
  • Subcontractor misclassification. The IRS scrutinizes worker classification carefully in construction. Reclassifying workers from independent contractors to employees triggers back payroll taxes and penalties going back multiple years.
  • Unreported project deposits. Large deposits received at the start of a project are taxable income in the year received. GCs who have not properly reported deposits face serious audit and assessment risk.
  • Missed quarterly estimated payments. Irregular project cash flow makes quarterly payments difficult to maintain and the penalties compound fast.
  • Unfiled tax returns. Multiple years of unfiled returns is extremely common for GCs running complex operations with no bandwidth for tax management.
  • IRS liens on equipment and bonding capacity. The IRS can file liens against your business assets making it impossible to secure bonding or win new contracts.
