I need national averages for profit/expense percentages for construction business. How do I find it in ProSeries?

During an audit, auditor suggested to use national averages to resolve "reasonable" cost for roofer.

That information certainly would NOT be in ProSeries.  ProSeries is a tax program, not a statistical database of non-tax data.

I suspect it will be difficult to find a national average for expenses.

Is the taxpayer still in the roofing business?  If so, the most logical method would be to track the current income/expense ratio for that taxpayer's business.
