Setting up multiple corporate entities for the sole purpose of getting around 280E will lead to a ton of trouble with the IRS. Just ask the folks over at Harborside.

The (still) ongoing Harborside case has taught us how the IRS views using multiple entities to take tax deductions for a Cannabis business, whether that entity is attached to or separate from the Cannabis operations. By trying to be clever and get around 280E, Harborside has now put itself in the position of potentially having to pay a cool $11 million in back taxes.

Harborside even tried to fight the constitutionality of 280E… and lost the appeal.

Our latest podcast episode, “Harborside Case Review: Why Multiple Entities Won't Circumvent 280E,” explores exactly where it all went wrong for Harborside and what we can do as accounting professionals to protect our Cannabis clients and their businesses.

Topics include:

🟢 A brief overview of the Harborside case.

🟢 Why using Harborside’s multi-entity corporate structure to take (illegal) tax deductions won’t fly during an audit.

🟢 Minimizing tax liability while still adhering to 280E.
