How to note non-1099'd Handyman for repairs in Quickbooks
Hi guys,
I paid a Handyman $13,000 to completely paint, sheet rock repairs, rugs, floors, windows, toilets, replace counter top and fix a few leaks, on two houses.
A real estate lawyer explained that as a sole proprietor + passive investor who does not spend more than 750 hours per year in real estate, and do not have to issue one. My CPA advises to give one as "it cant hurt"/"more documentation the better". I'd rather not get into the conversation with the Handyman because I got a fantastic deal.
My question is as follows, in Quickbooks, how do I enter these in Quickbooks? For example, some may be considered upgrades. Do i need to "split" the bill into itemized items some of which are amortized? There isnt much, because all work was basically a repair of damaged/worn down equipment + flooring.
