How it works
The Augusta Rule, plain English.
Section 280A(g) of the tax code says: rent your home for fewer than 15 days a year, and the rental income is excluded from your taxable income. Combined with the deductibility of legitimate business rent expense, you get to:
- Deduct the rent on the business side (lowering taxable income).
- Receive the rent personally, tax-free.
For a high-income S-corp owner, this can shelter $14,000-$30,000+ from federal tax annually. Read our full Augusta Rule guide for setup, documentation, and pitfalls.
Required documentation: rental agreement, business purpose statement, attendee list, comparable-rate quotes, payment record, day-counting log. Without all six, your audit defense is weak.
