Turn Your Home into a Tax-Free Income Generator with the Augusta Rule

Turn Your Home into a Tax-Free Income Generator with the Augusta Rule

May 16, 20252 min read

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:

  1. Rent out your personal residence for up to 14 days per year

  2. Receive that rental income 100% tax-free—no reporting required

  3. Originally used during the Masters Golf Tournament in Augusta, GA

  4. 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:

  1. Rent your home to your business for:

    • Strategy meetings

    • Virtual team trainings

    • Content planning days

    • Investor update calls

  2. Charge a fair market rate (use Airbnb or hotel comps)

  3. Your business deducts the rent as an ordinary business expense

  4. 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:

  1. Must be a personal-use residence

  2. Use it 14 days or fewer for this purpose

  3. Keep records:

    • Agendas or meeting notes

    • Rental invoices

    • Proof of payments

    • Rate comps from local rentals

❓ Common Questions

  1. Can I do this with multiple businesses? Yes—but only 14 total rental days per property.

  2. What if I have a business partner? They can use their own homes to do the same.

  3. What about my second home? It can qualify if it’s a personal residence used 14+ days per year.

  4. 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.
