The Augusta Rule: How the Wealthy Rent Their Own Home to Their Business for $14,000 Tax-Free

Your CPA won’t mention IRS Code 280A. Here’s why.

It’s called the Augusta Rule — and it’s how business owners legally pocket up to $14,000/year in TAX-FREE rental income.

Named after the Masters golf tournament (where Augusta locals rent homes to attendees tax-free), Section 280A lets you do the exact same thing… with your OWN business.

Here’s how it works 👇

1️⃣ Rent your personal home to your business for up to 14 days/year. Strategy meetings, retreats, training sessions, client dinners — all qualify.

2️⃣ Your business writes off the rent as a legitimate expense. You receive the income 100% TAX-FREE. Yes, really.

3️⃣ Charge a FAIR market rate. Pull 3 comps from Peerspace, Airbnb, or local event venues. Document everything.

4️⃣ Keep bulletproof records: meeting minutes, agendas, attendees, signed rental agreement, and an invoice from you to your business.

5️⃣ Works best for S-Corps, C-Corps, and LLCs taxed as corporations. Sole props don’t qualify (another reason to restructure).

The math: $1,000/day x 14 days = $14,000 tax-free + a $14,000 business deduction. That’s a 5-figure swing most owners never claim.

Why don’t CPAs talk about it? Two reasons:
→ It requires documentation they don’t want to manage
→ Most are reactive (filing) not proactive (strategy)

The wealthy don’t earn more. They keep more.
