http://www.taxcpahouston.com/ Tax Planning & Tax accounting tips for general contractors by Houston Tax CPA Jim Trippon. Trippon & Co. CPAs have over 25 plus years of experience in tax preparation and tax accounting for construcstion contractors of all types.
This weeks tip is on how to use little known tax deductions to save on tax. You see most businesses (and industries) have special tax deductions that can save serious money. The key is to work with a CPA who looks for every opportunity to legally save you tax. This week we look at deductions for construction contractors.
For years I have worked with all types of construction contractors.everything from general contractors, to roofers, electricians, commercial plumbers, HVAC and utility contractors.
I have found that most construction professionals dont even know that they may qualify for a special deduction save them 6% on their federal income tax every year. What I am talking about is the Domestic Production Activities Deduction (which can be deducted using IRS Form 8903). This special deduction allows many construction contractors to deduct 6% of net income derived from qualified production activities. There are some limitations, but most construction contractors that do new construction projects can qualify.
If you would like to work with a CPA firm that understands the construction industry and will work hard to make sure you do not pay a penny more than you owe give us a call at 713-661-1040. At Trippon & Company CPAs we use our 20+ years of experience in construction contractor tax to minimize your Federal tax liability.

Do they charge sales tax for services rendered?
The quick answer to your question is NO they normally do not charge sales tax.
A more complete answer depends on the state (and maybe even the county) your asking about. But I can tell you how it works in Florida.
I am going to assume that the best way to explain it is by an example.
Example) Your battery cable in your car has failed, you take it to a garage and you supply the cable. In this case the labor isn’t taxable. But, if you let them buy the cable the labor can be subject to sales tax. Again, this is different from state to state.
So following that theory, if the CPA only does auditing or bookkeeping services it shouldn’t be subjected to sales tax. However, if the CPA provides you with software…then it might be taxable (sales tax).

Now, if you look in the yellow pages, there are thousands upon thousands of goods and services offered by the free market, from accountants to Joe the plumber to yoga instructors.
So what determines which services should be socialized and which should be left to the free market?
well I have a belief that corner markets(markets that effect every thing) need to be stable and cheap to the mass. So if that means socializing so be it, but it does not have to be

What is Forensic Accounting?
Forensic accounting is the practice of using accounting, auditing, and investigative accounting skills to assist in legal proceedings. Forensic literally means “used in a court of law” or for “public debate”. When we combine accounting skills with legal knowledge, it is called forensic accounting.
A Brief History of Forensic Accounting
Accountants have been using their investigative skills almost since the dawn of time. Some of the earliest accounting records date back over 7,000 years to ancient Babylon, Assyria and Sumeria where accounting was used to track agriculture. Likely, even back then, people were concerned about not getting short-changed in their business and financial lives.
Modern forensic accounting has its earliest reference in 1824 in an accountants advertising circular in Glasgow, Scotland. Special accountants gave testimony in court and in arbitration proceedings. Interest in forensic accounting spread through the United States and England early in the twentieth century. One of the first institutions to use the services of such investigative accountants was the IRS. The story of Al Capone the famous mobster being caught on a tax evasion scheme is well-known. Of course even today, the IRS continues to use forensic accountants in pursuing tax cheats among business, sports and entertainment celebrities including Woody Nelson, Nicholas Cage, and Wesley Snipes.
As a profession, forensic accounting continued to grow during the latter half of the 20th century, until today, when almost no successful business litigation claims is made without the assistance of a forensic accountant.
Modern Forensic Accounting
Modern forensic accounting focuses on 3 main areas: litigation support, forensic accounting investigation, and dispute resolution.
Litigation Support
Legal litigation support represents the descriptive presentation of financial issues related to existing or pending legal proceeding. The forensic accounting professional determines damages sustained by parties involved in legal disputes and can assist in resolving disputes, even before they reach the courtroom. If a dispute reaches the courtroom, the forensic accountant may testify as an expert witness.
Forensic Accounting Investigation
Forensic accounting investigation is the process of deciding whether criminal matters such as internal employee theft, securities fraud (including falsification of financial statements), identity theft, and insurance fraud have occurred. As part of the forensic accountant’s work, they may recommend actions that can be taken to minimize future risk of loss. Forensic accounting investigation may also occur in civil matters. For example, the forensic accountant may search for hidden assets in divorce cases.
Forensic accounting involves looking beyond the numbers and grasping the substance of situations. It’s more than accounting…more than detective work…it’s a combination. In short, forensic accounting requires the most important quality a person can possess: the ability to think.
I began my accounting career with Price Waterhouse Coopers as a forensic accountant reviewing and investigating financial statements of some of the worlds largest corporations. As a forensic accountant, I have almost 30 years of experience, and I know that my expertise can definitely assist you with your investigative research in your personal or corporate accounting needs.
