IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION
- Under IRC Section 280A(g), qualifying rental income from a personal residence rented for fewer than 15 days during the tax year may be excluded from taxable income.
- Eligibility depends on your circumstances and business structure. Payments made by a business are not automatically deductible, and this toolkit does not determine tax eligibility or guarantee tax savings.
- Sole proprietors and disregarded single-member LLCs generally cannot use the same owner-to-business rental arrangement as a separate tax entity.
- Consult a qualified tax professional before implementing an Augusta Rule strategy. The included sample rental agreement should be reviewed by an attorney before use.
