Rental repair invoice without tax id - is valid for tax return?

Posted

I have a rental property improvement invoice with no tax id. The handyman refuses to provide his SSN. The worth of repair $5.5K. Is the receipt valid for next year's tax return in California?

Lots of contractors and handymen are like this- he's not going to report that income on his taxes. 

You can still claim the expense on yours. 

Here's the issue- it's going to ask you if you were required to issue any 1099s, and if so, did you. You're required to prove you requested this information from the contractor and they refused

You were required since this wasn't a corp and was over $600, but you can't issue it. 

I would talk with your tax pro and see what they want to do to handle it.
