In this podcast, I break down exactly how this powerful Augusta rule tax strategy works, the 5 critical rules you must follow, and how to implement it correctly so you stay on the right side of the IRS.Here's the deal: If you rent your home to your business for 14 days or less per year for legitimate purposes like board meetings, strategic planning sessions, or client events, that rental income can be 100% tax-free to you personally. Meanwhile, your S corporation gets a full business deduction for the expense. This tax strategy for small business owners is a win-win when done right.Most business owners have never heard of the Section 280A rental strategy, and their accountants aren't telling them about it.
