In this video we explain that even if your CPA knows the Augusta Rule, they’re probably not implementing it for you. That’s not a knock on CPAs; it’s just not their job.
This leaves business owners to implement on their own—navigating IRS requirements, rental valuations, and documentation—on top of running their business. The result? Missed tax savings and plenty of frustration.
We built The Augusta Rule™ software-backed service to take that entire process off your plate. We handle the paperwork, fair market valuations, and CPA-ready reporting—so you get tax-free income without the guesswork.

My sense was that it’s possible that the
0:02
majority of CPAs don’t even know what
0:05
the what the rule actually is. If they
0:07
do know what the rule is, they’d
0:09
actually don’t know the intricacies of
0:11
it, even as a fairly simple rule because
0:13
it’s it’s it does take some studying.
0:15
And then if they know how to apply it
0:18
fairly well, it’s still left up to their
0:21
client to do all the work.
0:23
Yeah.
0:23
And to do all the work with ambiguity.
0:26
And so and that was the situation I
0:27
found myself in even after learning it
0:29
from from you because I I engaged you as
0:33
a you know a tax consultant and so you
0:35
gave me a number of different strategies
0:37
and then I had to sit there and and
0:39
scratch my head for a little bit because
0:40
it’s not my expertise and it’s not any
0:42
of the entrepreneurs expertise and
0:43
that’s a steep learning curve even for
0:45
something you know fairly simple. So, I
0:47
had to understand it well enough to be
0:48
able to teach it to a team member of
0:50
mine. And so, our office manager now
0:52
runs it, sends me an email and says,
0:54
“Hey, was this an event? I saw this on
0:56
your calendar. Does this qualify? Yes or
0:58
no? Here’s why. Here’s the details.”
1:00
Fills it out, you know, processes it.
1:01
So, it’s a manual process that we’ve
1:03
Okay. Most entrepreneurs would never do
1:05
that.
1:05
Yeah.
1:05
And so, so there’s a market. There’s
1:09
room for someone who’s willing to
1:10
systematize that,
1:12
which by the way, hint, is what we’re
1:14
looking to do.
