Fix and Flip Personal Labor Repairs - Can you claim them for tax?
I found a deal for a fix and flip. I am wanting to do 90% of the work myself to save reno costs. For capital gains taxes, how can I charge my personal time to the cost for renovation?
Ex. ARV - $161k
Reno-$16k (if contracted out)
Desired Profit: $30k
Holding costs : $1100/month
Time of reno: 2 months
Time to sell: 2 months
Say I want to bill my time out at $30/hour, is there a way that I can claim that? I keep track of time for current projects and all material costs associated with itemized renovations. Or do I have to subcontract that and have a physical bill/receipt?
Thank you for the help!
