What is the Augusta Rule?
Hint: Not your home office deduction
📍 Origin:
In the 1970s, homeowners in Augusta, Georgia didn’t want to pay taxes on the money they made renting out their homes during the Masters golf tournament. So they lobbied for a tax break—and won.
📜 The Result:
Congress created Section 280A(g) of the tax code, now famously known as “The Augusta Rule.”
🏡 What It Means for You:
If you rent your personal residence for 14 days or fewer per year, you don’t have to report the income. 👉 It’s 100% tax-free.
💼 Here's the Hack:
If you own a business (LLC, S-Corp, etc.), you can rent your home to your company for meetings or events. Your business gets a tax deduction. You personally get tax-free income.
So why isn't everyone doing this?
Because the IRS doesn’t make it easy.
To legally claim tax-free income under the Augusta Rule, you need to document everything perfectly—or risk having the deduction denied.

Here’s the kicker: you must use a comparable rate—what you would’ve paid to rent a similar external venue for the same meeting. No guesswork allowed.

✅ That’s where we come in.
AugustaTax automates all of it—so you can stay audit-proof and save up to $14,000/year, the smart way.

No spreadsheets. No guesswork. No stress at tax time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I file for both an office deduction and Augusta?

Yes, you can potentially benefit from both the home office deduction and the "Augusta Rule" (Section 280A(g) of the Internal Revenue Code), provided you meet the specific requirements for each.

What is a rental rate and why do I need one?

The Augusta Rule allows homeowners to rent out their personal residence for up to 14 days per year without reporting the rental income, provided the home is rented at fair market value and not used as a primary rental property. This provision can be advantageous if, for example, you rent your home to your business for meetings or events. The business can deduct the rental expense, and you, as the homeowner, are not required to report the rental income, resulting in tax-free income. To take advantage, you need to find a comparable venue for or business to rent. But don't worry, we've done all the leg work for you! 

Who is eligible to use the Augusta Rule?

The Augusta Rule allows homeowners to rent their personal residence to their business or another party for up to 14 days per year without reporting the income on their tax return. To qualify, the rental must be for business purposes, charged at fair market value, and properly documented.
