Maximizing Tax Benefits Through the Augusta Rule

The IRS allows business owners to rent their primary residence to their business for up to 14 days a year, providing a strategic opportunity for significant tax deductions. By leveraging the Augusta Rule, homeowners can potentially deduct up to $14,000 in rental income without having to report it as personal income. This is especially advantageous during the holiday season when rental rates tend to increase due to events and gatherings, allowing businesses to claim fair market value for the space used. Combining this strategy with board meetings held at home maximizes deductions while promoting business growth.
