A short term contract is any contract that is started and completed within a fiscal year. A long-term contract is any contract that is started in a fiscal year and is completed in another fiscal year. For instance. If the taxpayer has a December 31 year end and a contract is started on December 24th and completed on January 3rd, this is deemed a long-term contract even though the duration of the contract was only 10 days.
