Accounting

On December 20 of the current year, Pit Rentals, an accrual method taxpayer, enters into a binding contract with Pat to have Pat do a deep cleaning of its offices. Under the terms of the contract, Pat is to do the work in March of the following year. The total cost of the job is \(\$ 5,000\). Pit pays Pat \(10\%\) down at the time the contract is signed. Because the job is not to be done until the following year, economic performance has not occurred in the current year and Pit Rentals may not deduct any portion of the expense in the current year.
