Despite rapid expansion across the country, the cannabis industry continues to be a big target for the IRS. Section 280E of the tax code labels marijuana businesses as trafficking controlled substances. This classification forbids most common credits and deductions that can be taken by other types of businesses, making controlling tax liabilities a challenge. Which expenses are legitimately deductible is open to debate and can cause serious problems with the IRS or the state you operate in. Make sure you have an experienced CPA firm on your side like Smoky Mtn Cannabis Advisors.
