What is The Augusta Rule?
The Augusta Rule is a provision in the U.S. tax code (Section 280A(g)) that lets homeowners rent their residence for up to 14 days per year without paying tax on that income.
The rule was created in 1976 when homeowners around the Augusta golf course—host to the prestigious Masters Tournament—lobbied Congress to allow them to rent their homes tax-free. (It helped that some congressmen might themselves benefit.)
The law was reaffirmed in 2023, confirming what savvy business owners have been doing for decades.
It’s one of the few legal strategies that turns a business deduction into personal tax-free money.

Our Story
As business owners and entrepreneurs who’ve been on both sides of the tax game, Nethaniel Ealy and John Hyre co-founded The Augusta Rule to help others save tens of thousands of dollars.
It all started when Nethaniel received a tax bill bigger than his salary. After 60 pages of tax code, over 100 hours of research, and thousands spent on tax experts, he was no closer to finding a solution. Then he met John.
John Hyre is a nationally respected tax attorney with 30 years of experience who’s taken the IRS to court and won. Together he and Nethaniel developed a comprehensive service that has since changed everything—transforming their own journey and the financial health of many others like them.
Our mission is to put one billion dollars back in business owners’ pockets by 2030.
