Common Tax Deductions for Construction Workers
Regardless of your trade in the construction industry, allowable tax deductions can lower your tax liability and possibly lead to getting a tax refund. You can deduct common expenses such as tools and materials, and even certain other items that come in handy in your business or on the job.
If you’re an employee for a construction company, rather than an independent contractor, and your employer doesn’t reimburse you for expenses on the job, your unreimbursed employee expenses are no longer deductible. Independent contractors generally have no limit on the ability to deduct work related expenses. See the full TurboTax article for details so you can plan ahead.
