Handymen deal with the widest variety of taxable and exempt items. Materials like paint, hardware, lumber, and parts are typically taxable while labor for repairs and installations may be tax-exempt. Some states consider handyman services fully taxable while others exempt them entirely. EstimatePro's per-item taxable toggle lets you set each line correctly.
