John Hyre introduces the Augusta Rule (Section 280A[g]), clarifying misconceptions spread by social media. He explains that while most know homeowners can rent their residence for up to 14 days per year tax-free, few realize that the home can be rented to one’s own business, allowing the business a deduction and the owner tax-free income. The rule is legitimate and backed by the tax code when implemented correctly.

Important points:

  • TikTok and other online sources often skip the details and documentation required for compliance.
  • The key challenge for tax pros is helping clients execute it easily so they actually follow through.
  • On our partner call we’ll cover why it’s legitimate, common objections, documentation steps, and audit defense.
  • If clients use our method and software-backed service, we’ll defend them in audit or Tax Court at no charge.
