Three things we watchin repair-shop books.

Reconciling and closing are the same everywhere. This is where these books differ.

  1. Parts vs. labor

    They can be taxed differently, and each state sets the rule. We keep them apart from the invoice on.

  2. Parts inventory and cost

    Parts on the shelf are cash. Moved to cost as they’re used, they show what each job earned.

  3. Tech pay, commissions, 1099s

    Hourly, flat-rate and commission pay mix easily. We also settle who’s an employee and who’s a 1099 contractor.

What we trackevery month.

The estimator opens with your industry already picked.

Does labor carry sales tax?
It depends on the state. Many tax only the parts, but some tax repair labor too. With parts and labor split on every invoice, the return comes out right in any state.
Is a tech an employee or a 1099 contractor?
The IRS looks at who controls how the work is done. If the shop sets the hours and the jobs and supplies the equipment, that points to an employee. If it’s unclear, we sort it out in the first call from how the shop actually runs.
Lease or buy lifts and diagnostic equipment?
Lease payments are deducted monthly; a purchase can be expensed largely in year one through Section 179 or bonus depreciation. We decide with cash flow and several years of taxes in view. Some “leases” are really purchases, so we start with the contract.
