Turn Your Home into a Tax-Free Income Generator with the Augusta Rule
If you're a traveler CRNA, business owner, or real estate investor, you could unlock up to $14,000 per year in completely non-taxable income—just by using your home strategically.
✅ What’s the Augusta Rule?
Also known as IRS Section 280A(g), the Augusta Rule allows you to:
Rent out your personal residence for up to 14 days per year
Receive that rental income 100% tax-free—no reporting required
Originally used during the Masters Golf Tournament in Augusta, GA
Now a powerful tax strategy for savvy entrepreneurs, investors, and traveling professionals like CRNAs
💡 Why It’s Perfect for Traveler CRNAs
Many traveler CRNAs maintain a primary residence while working on contracts in different cities. That means your home—while you're away—can be rented by your own business for:
Strategy sessions
Planning
Other business use
It’s a smart way to turn your empty home into tax-free income—while reducing your business’s taxable income at the same time.
🏠 How It Works
If you own an LLC, S-Corp, or any business, you can:
Rent your home to your business for:
Strategy meetings
Virtual team trainings
Content planning days
Investor update calls
Charge a fair market rate (use Airbnb or hotel comps)
Your business deducts the rent as an ordinary business expense
You receive the income tax-free (up to 14 days/year)
💸 Example
4 meetings/year × $1,000/day = $4,000
Business gets a $4,000 deduction
You receive $4,000 in tax-free income
Max it out at 14 days and you could legally shift $14,000 from your business to your pocket—without paying a dime in taxes.
🧾 What You’ll Need to Document
To stay IRS-compliant:
Must be a personal-use residence
Use it 14 days or fewer for this purpose
Keep records:
Agendas or meeting notes
Rental invoices
Proof of payments
Rate comps from local rentals
❓ Common Questions
Can I do this with multiple businesses? Yes—but only 14 total rental days per property.
What if I have a business partner? They can use their own homes to do the same.
What about my second home? It can qualify if it’s a personal residence used 14+ days per year.
How do I determine a fair rate? Compare to Airbnb or hotel meeting room rates in your area.
🧠 Final Thoughts
The Augusta Rule is one of the few legal ways to create tax-free income—and it’s especially valuable for traveler CRNAs who already maintain a primary residence. With the right structure, you can turn time away from home into a tax strategy that works in your favor.
✅ Want to Maximize Tax-Free Income? This is just one of the tax-saving strategies we teach to help CRNAs, business owners, and real estate investors keep more of what they earn.
👉 Connect with us to learn how to implement it and build a smarter, more tax-optimized financial strategy.
Your income should fund your freedom—not the IRS.
