Under §280E, you're taxed on gross profit — not net.
No deductions for rent, payroll, or marketing — only cost of goods survives.
Rescheduling has changed the picture for some license types, but §280E still governs most operators' current-year returns, and the details depend on your license and your state. Adult-use stays under it — so if you run both, your deductions now turn on how you allocate. We do that work, and we sign it. Every engagement starts with the $375 280E Risk Review.
No deductions for rent, payroll, or marketing — only cost of goods survives.
Every engagement produces a defined, signed deliverable that lands in your portal. Here's exactly what the work looks like.
An Enrolled Agent is federally licensed to represent any taxpayer, for any tax matter, before every office of the IRS — in all 50 states. That's the authority a 471(c) position needs behind it, and the authority that lets me stand in for you if the IRS ever calls.
The risk review tells you which of these you need. Each one is signed, and built to hold under exam.

Last year's return and a rough P&L — or just point me at your live books.
A clear number on what §280E cost you, plus a plan for the work that follows.
I sign, file, and face the IRS if a notice comes. You keep running your business.
This is built for cannabis operators in every legal state — dispensary, cultivation, or mixed medical/adult-use. If that's you and you're still filing under §280E, the $375 audit is where we start. Representation is federal. Green works with licensed operators in every legal state.
A clear number: what §280E has cost you each year, what Schedule III changes for your license type, and a plan for the work that follows. If the transition doesn't move anything for you, I'll say so — and you've spent $375 to know, not thousands to find out.
Mine, as the Enrolled Agent preparing and signing under a defined engagement. That's the point — your return carries a credentialed signature admitted to practice before the IRS, with the disclosure to back the position.
Yes. Power of Attorney goes on file, then I take over the IDR responses, the substantiation file, Appeals, or the levy/lien/installment work — as a standalone engagement, no return-prep relationship required.
Rescheduling has changed the picture for some license types, but §280E still governs most operators' current-year returns, and the details depend on your license and your state. We run that analysis for your situation, and evaluate amended returns once IRS guidance is final.
