Under §280E, you're taxed on gross profit — not net.
The effective federal tax rate operators still under §280E carry. No deductions for rent, payroll, or marketing — only cost of goods survives.
Schedule III lifts §280E for California's medical and mixed-use operators — so you can finally deduct like any other business. We make the transition, and we sign it. Every engagement starts with the $375 280E Risk Review.
The effective federal tax rate operators still under §280E carry. 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 audit tells you which of these you need. Each one is signed, and built to hold under exam.

Learn more →We talk about your designation, how your medical and adult-use revenue splits, and how you file today. That's usually enough for me to tell you whether Schedule III moves anything for you — and whether I'm the right fit. If I'm not, I'll say so on that call, not after an engagement letter.
Last year's return and a rough P&L. If your books are live somewhere, point me at them instead. I'm not asking you to assemble a package — I'd rather see what you actually have, as it actually is.
You get a clear number — what §280E cost you each year, and what the transition is worth — and a plan for the work that follows. From there it's off your plate: fixed fee, signed by an EA, and built to hold under exam.
From there I carry the lane — signing, filing, and standing in front of the IRS if a notice comes. You get documented positions, clear updates, and a defense file you can rely on. You keep running your business.
No testimonials yet — and none invented in the meantime.
I'd rather show you nothing than show you something I made up.
Every engagement starts with the $375 280E Risk Review. From there the work is priced flat — engagements start at $2,000, and the audit tells you exactly which you need.
This is built for single-location California cannabis operators — dispensary, cultivation, or mixed medical/adult-use. No multi-state, no MSO. If that's you and you're still filing under §280E, the $375 audit is where we start.
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.
It depends on your license type. State medical-licensed operators may exit §280E for 2026; adult-use and unlicensed activity stay under it. We run that analysis for your situation, and evaluate amended returns once IRS guidance is final.
Within one business day. IRS deadlines don't wait — a missed IDR or a 30-day letter is how a manageable case turns into an expensive one.
One fixed fee tells you what §280E cost you — and what you can take back.
