A filled-in Form IC134 example: a prime contractor submits the affidavit

Form IC134 example filled out, example: a prime contractor submits the affidavit
Example Paving, a prime contractor, files Form IC134 for a county job. It had employees and hired two subcontractors, so only the Prime contractor box is ticked. The picture shows the filled form, and every value in it is made up. The Yes box is ticked because employees worked on the project, so the No box and its line stay empty. Nothing goes in the Name of contractor who hired you lines because Example Paving was hired by the county, not by another contractor. Rows 3 to 6 stay empty because only two subcontractors were hired. Work began in March 2026 and ended in September 2026, Final payment cannot be made until the Department of Revenue has certified the affidavit, so Contract Amount Still Due shows that final payment. Example Paving signed on October 5, 2026.
