California · Schedule III

Stop paying tax on money you already spent.

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.

Why it matters

Under §280E, you're taxed on gross profit — not net.

No deductions for rent, payroll, or marketing — only cost of goods survives.

The work product, not a promise.

Every engagement produces a defined, signed deliverable that lands in your portal. Here's exactly what the work looks like.

A credential you can put on your Power of Attorney.

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 services

The audit tells you which of these you need. Each one is signed, and built to hold under exam.

The engagement

Four steps, and it's off your plate.

01 · Ten-minute call

A quick fit call: your designation, how your revenue splits, and how you file today.

02 · You send the basics

Last year's return and a rough P&L — or just point me at your live books.

03 · You start with the $375 audit

A clear number on what §280E cost you, plus a plan for the work that follows.

04 · I sign and represent

I sign, file, and face the IRS if a notice comes. You keep running your business.

Questions, answered
Do I qualify?

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.

What does the $375 audit tell me?

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.

Whose signature goes on the return?

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.

I'm already in an audit — can you still help?

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.

What does Schedule III change for me?

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.

How fast do you respond?

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.
