STRONGSVILLE, OHIO / ACCESS Newswire / January 17, 2026 / Payroll4Construction, the construction payroll service from Foundation Software has released a new educational article, "Contractor Tax Prep 2026: Practical Moves After the Big Beautiful Bill," for contractors and construction professionals looking for more information as the industry heads into the first full tax-filing cycle under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Public Law 119-21).
The resource breaks down how recent federal tax changes affect contractors in practical, day-to-day terms, outlining key 2026 planning areas and year-end considerations that often require coordination between accounting, operations, payroll teams and CPAs.
Key areas highlighted include:
Equipment and software expensing decisions tied to in-service dates
Potential changes to revenue timing for qualifying residential jobs
Federal income-tax treatment changes for overtime and tips, with employer payroll taxes still applying
Financing considerations related to incentive phase-downs and interest limits
A year-end checklist that aligns accounting, payroll and job reporting before December 31
It also outlines how construction-specific systems can support compliance and preparation, particularly when it comes to payroll accuracy, certified payroll reporting and multi-state withholding. Payroll4Construction specifically can be a valuable resource for contractors looking to ensure year-end payroll data is accurate and ready for tax filing.
