From Chapter 2 – What the Internal Revenue Service tells its auditors about Drywallers:
“Their background as skilled craftsmen gives Drywallers inherent strengths and weaknesses in running a business. Their
experience in doing the work themselves gives them an understanding of the labor component of jobs and allows them to organize
a workforce to fulfill a contract at the agreed price or lower. For experienced Drywallers, bidding small jobs is second nature.
They can eyeball the work to be done, mentally compute the industry standard of 50 cents per square foot for hanging, taping,
and texturing, include a premium for an extraordinary circumstances, and arrive at an accurate bid.
Because materials must be pre-ordered for jobs, Drywallers are very aware of cash flow. On larger jobs, normal billing
terms are 35% at time of stocking, 35% once hanging is completed, and 30% upon completion. Such terms force Drywallers to
match cash outflows with their inflows. In some states, cash inflows are restricted by laws, which limit advance payments
to the lesser of 10% of the contract price of $1,000. In addition, since Drywallers do not usually rely on outside financing,
maintaining positive cash flow is imperative.”

The IRS Also Tells Their Auditors…

on the books and records. Such books and records often just consist of a check register and file even for Drywallers with
millions of dollars in gross receipts.”
