Justin Botillier and Jamie Jorgenstone, Partners at Calyx CPA, alongside Nick Richards Attorney at Greenspoon Marder, will discuss the justification for moving forward without reducing deductions disallowed by 280E and amending tax returns to recapture lost deductions despite the IRS's reiterated stance on adhering to 280E. They will provide an in-depth analysis of the responsible basis for this approach, examining the legal and regulatory context that supports this position.
Additionally, Justin and Jamie will share their methods for mitigating 280E by using 471(c) and provide their SOPs for properly preparing returns using this approach. With an aggressive but defensible 471(c) methodology, as well as disclosure including a reasonable basis for not reducing deductions due to 280E, the industry can pursue more favorable tax outcomes and potentially recover significant funds.
This webinar is designed for tax professionals specializing in cannabis accounting, offering an aggressive approach to challenging 280E and equipping them with the strategies needed to advocate for their clients effectively.
