Deductions
- Don't deduct material scrapped by you or your employees.
- Do not deduct material only scrapped or primed and textured by subcontractors.
- Don't deduct square footage for taping or texturing not done on the base layer in a multiple-layer application.
Material and square footage
Rooms (square footage) that are not taped or textured may not be subtracted from the total drywall square footage purchased.
Add any material purchased for repair or warranty work to the installation or taping classification regardless of whether or not you were the installing contractor.
Add a minimum of 32 square feet per patch in the taping classification when repair work is performed on jobs you did not install and no material is purchased.

Report scrapping hours in classification 0510 when employees performed scrapping activities on jobs where your firm did not perform installation.

| What is Fraud? Help lower your premium cost; make others pay their fair share and get workers back to work by reporting law breakers. Fraud costs the Washington State workers' compensation system millions of dollars each year. Employers, employees, L&I and Washington consumers pay the cost of fraud in lost jobs and profit, lower wages and benefits, and higher costs for services and premiums. |
