We don't hand you a number — we help you build your own evidence file
IRC §280A(g) · The Augusta Rule
Tax-free income from your home —
documented well enough to survive an audit
In 2023, the Tax Court slashed Augusta Rule deductions backed by weak documentation (Sinopoli) and rejected vendor-packaged rates outright (Jadhav). Our workflow builds YOUR defensible evidence file: documented comparable rates, properly dated agreements and minutes, and proof of payment.

Built Around 2023 Tax Court Case Law
In Sinopoli v. Commissioner (2023), the Tax Court cut $3,000-per-meeting rents to roughly $500 for lack of real comparable evidence and payment substantiation. In Jadhav v. Commissioner (2023), deductions built on a vendor-packaged rate were disallowed entirely. Every feature in this platform is designed around what those rulings asked for: your own documented evidence.
Professional Note: These tools support your Augusta Rule workflow but do not create a professional tax relationship or constitute tax representation. Work with your own qualified advisor (CPA, EA, or tax attorney) for guidance tailored to your situation.
Everything You Need for Compliance
Our platform provides all the tools and documentation required to confidently implement the Augusta Rule
How to Implement the Augusta Rule
Follow our proven four-step process to legally deduct home rental expenses while generating tax-free income
Establish Fair Market Value
The foundation of Augusta Rule compliance is determining a defensible fair market value (FMV) rental rate for your property. Our automated FMV calculator researches comparable commercial venues in your area—including hotel conference rooms, co-working spaces, and event centers—so your rate rests on real, sourced evidence instead of a number someone handed you.
Why This Matters: In Sinopoli v. Commissioner (2023), the Tax Court cut $3,000-per-meeting rents to roughly $500 because the owners had no real comparable evidence. Our system automatically finds and documents 10+ comparable venues with verified rates, ratings, and contact information to support your FMV determination.
Create Rental Agreement & Board Resolution
Before conducting any meetings, your business must formally authorize the rental arrangement. This requires a written rental agreement between you (as homeowner) and your business entity, plus a board resolution or operating agreement amendment authorizing the expense. Our platform auto-generates both documents with all required legal language.
Why This Matters: The IRS expects arm's-length transactions between you and your business. Formal documentation proves this wasn't a casual arrangement but a legitimate business decision approved through proper corporate governance.
Conduct & Document Business Meetings
Each of your 14 annual rental days must involve a legitimate business meeting with a clear business purpose. Our meeting logger helps you document attendees, agenda items, business decisions made, and time spent. The system automatically generates professional meeting minutes designed around IRS documentation standards.
Qualifying Activities: Strategic planning sessions, board meetings, client presentations, employee training, quarterly business reviews, and annual planning meetings all qualify. Social events, family gatherings, and casual get-togethers do not.
Generate Year-End Compliance Package
At year-end, our platform automatically compiles all documentation into a comprehensive compliance package for your tax professional. This includes the rental agreement, board resolution, all meeting minutes, attendee lists, payment records, FMV analysis with comparable venue data, and a summary report showing total rental days used and remaining.
Compliance Focus: This complete documentation package is designed to help with IRS compliance requirements. Every document is professionally formatted and organized for review by tax professionals and IRS agents. However, compliance outcomes depend on individual circumstances and proper use.
