Individual Tax Preparation & Planning

If your business is a pass-through, 280E does not stop at the entity.

If your cannabis business is a pass-through, 280E does not stop at the entity. Disallowed deductions flow through to your personal return as taxable income you never actually received in cash.

We prepare owner returns with that reality built in.

What's Included

โœ“Individual returns โ€” federal and state preparation
โœ“Pass-through planning โ€” including 280E effects at the owner level
โœ“Basis tracking โ€” and distribution planning
โœ“Multi-state filing โ€” for owners with interests across jurisdictions
โœ“Estimated payments โ€” planned so April is not a surprise
โœ“Entity coordination โ€” so business and personal strategy align

Why This Differs In Cannabis

A pass-through owner can face a personal tax liability substantially larger than the cash the business distributed, because the taxable income figure includes expenses the business genuinely paid but cannot deduct. Owners who do not plan for this discover it in April, and the gap can be severe.

Tax on income you never received in cash. Plan for it early.
