Yep it’s taxable income. I’d be willing to bet that company is agreeing to conduct the habitat work at the rate the NRCS is reimbursing, but you have this long waiting time to see if the client is approved, then following through with the NRCS guidelines, etc. I do quite a few contracts for NRCS clients each year but I’m certainly not relying on them. It can be a headache at times.
