Jake Johnstun, Enrolled Agent, will be presenting information about accounting and finance in the regulated market on Sept 22nd & 23rd (see below). He has been in the tax preparation industry since 1994.

An Enrolled Agent is a federally authorized tax practitioner who has technical expertise in the field of taxation and who is empowered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury to represent taxpayers before all administrative levels of examination, collection, and appeals of the Internal Revenue Service.
The ability to represent you in a tax audit is of key importance for the cannabis industry as it has been largely assumed that all cannabis businesses will be under close scrutiny. In addition to taxpayer representation, Enrolled Agents often provide tax consultation services and prepare a wide range of federal and state tax returns.

Jake’s company, Greenfields Accounting prepares federal tax returns, state tax returns, and bookkeeping for Cannabis clientele. Jake’s clients span Oregon and California and range from farms to dispensaries.

Ha ha ha! Welcome back to the trough feeders! You might just want to let the abatement fines accrue and leave your land to the new eminent domain of retired pension benefitters. Before your done you’re gonna wish you were on the other side of that mountain of fees and paperwork, moved back to town and taken that cushy government job 9-5, paid lunch, 1/2 hour breaks, paid vacation, holidays, lifetime health care, and 80% salary in retirement. You should know who’s boss.

What is difficult about 280E for cultivators?

Dispensaries have to perform tax entity magic to maximize deductions. Damn near everything a cultivator does is deductible.

Not federally , no deductions The state very limited , This is new to the state, you are not growing garlic so be careful they have complete deductions for cannabis industry not like your typical farmer. Good luck on the push up on sales tax you are trying to implement i have not found anybody to pay my sales tax in california

Cultivation – deductible
$9.25 / oz tax – deductible
Recordkeeping – not deductible
Compliance – not deductible

Any tricks to overcome this?
