Our dedicated team of seasoned professionals will help you navigate the ins and outs of a dynamic, evolving industry.
As of 2022, using marijuana for either recreational or medicinal purposes is legal in 39 states, and it has grown into a $61 billion business. But marijuana is still considered a Schedule 1 controlled substance by the federal government, and even legal states have several legal hoops to jump through to get into the industry.
Perhaps the biggest hurdle is a portion of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) which dictates how businesses can deduct expenses. But a cannabis business, structured properly, can maximize its tax savings. That requires, however, some knowledge of the applicable IRS rules.
Learn MoreThe legalization of cannabis for medical and recreational use in many states presents a wealth of opportunities in a new market, but with an added layer of complexity. Taxation is much different in the cannabis industry than in a traditional business.
