What Happens When It’s Done Right


What is The Augusta Rule?

The Augusta Rule is a provision in the U.S. tax code (Section 280A(g)) that lets you rent your home for up to 14 days per year without paying tax on that income, including to your own business.
The name comes from homeowners in Augusta, Georgia who rent their homes during the Masters Golf Tournament. It wasn’t created for that, but that’s where it became widely known.
The law itself dates to the Tax Reform Act of 1976. Congress set out to limit vacation home deductions (Section 280A) and ended up carving out an exception (g): rent your home fewer than 15 days a year, and that income is excluded from gross income entirely. Sometimes, when the government taketh, it also giveth.
It’s one of the few legal strategies that turns a business deduction into personal tax-free money.

Why We Built This
Nethaniel Ealy didn’t set out to build a software company. After receiving a tax bill larger than his annual salary, he spent years digging through tax code and speaking with CPAs looking for answers, trying to understand how to use the Augusta Rule correctly.
He connected with John Hyre, a nationally recognized tax attorney with over 30 years of experience and a track record of defeating the IRS in court. Together they developed a structured system that helps business owners implement the Augusta Rule efficiently and in compliance without the paperwork headaches.

Common Questions
How do I actually benefit from using the Rule?
Your business gets a deduction. You, the homeowner, get the income tax-free. If properly implemented, it’s a clean internal transfer of funds that reduces your tax burden without creating a personal tax liability.
Who can use the Augusta Rule?
Eligible: C-Corporations, S-Corporations, LLC’s taxed as C or S Corp, and Partnerships (GP, LP, LLP, and Multi-member LLC)
Gray: LLCs and Partnerships where the sole Members are spouses. [For the IRS this is bad optics. We can defend it, and we might win, but the IRS gives it the stink eye.]
Not Eligible: Sole proprietors, Single-Member LLCs (unless the SMLLC is taxed as a C-Corporation or S-Corporation, in which case it is eligible)
How much will the Augusta Rule save me?
It depends on your home’s fair market rental value, your number of qualifying meeting days (up to 14), and your tax bracket.

What makes your service different from a CPA?
Most CPAs file. They don’t implement it.
We handle setup, valuation, documentation, scheduling, tracking, and compliance. Then we pass organized documentation to your CPA for proper filing.
How do you calculate the suggested rental value?
We analyze property data from your neighborhood, local market trends, and comparable commercial meeting spaces. We also factor in location, amenities, property size, timing, and how the space will actually be used for your business events.
Before your Strategy Call, we prepare a custom valuation for one residence based on real market data. We then walk you through our findings and explain how the value was determined.
Our valuations are based on fair market comparables, not short term rental searches. In most cases, they produce significantly higher valuations and stronger support than what you could find on AirBNB.
Is there a limit to how much you can help me deduct?
Yes. The primary limits are:
- The number of qualifying days (up to 14 per residence, per year)
- The defensible fair market rental value of each property
- The number of legitimate business meetings you can properly host
We help you capture the full legal amount supported by your properties, rental values, and qualified events.
If you own multiple residences or operate multiple entities, we structure those opportunities correctly and within the limits of the tax code.
Do I have to report the rental income on my taxes?
Best practice: Yes, when a 1099 is issued.
When your business rents your residence and issues you a 1099-MISC for the rental expense, the IRS receives a copy of that form. To properly match IRS records, the rental income should be reported on Schedule E of your Form 1040. You then claim an offsetting “other deductions” referencing IRC Section 280A(g), which results in zero taxable income from the rental.
Important distinction:
The Augusta Rule allows you to rent your residence [to anyone] for up to 14 days per year tax-free. If the rental is not reported to the IRS on a 1099, there is no income matching requirement, and the rental income does not need to be reported on your return.
Our service facilitates rentals between you and your business for up to 14 days, which means a 1099 is issued and proper reporting on personal taxes is required to maintain clean matching with IRS records.
Take full advantage of the 14 days the Augusta Rule allows each year.
In a free 45-minute strategy call, we’ll estimate your potential savings, confirm whether your business events qualify, and walk you through how our service works; no pressure and no obligation.
