Questions and Answers from the Podcast:


Q1:

Can multiple unrelated business owners each rent the same property during the year, each personally stay there for 14+ days, and each legitimately use the Augusta Rule?

Answer:

Yes, technically they can. Each person can establish the property as their own “dwelling unit” for the required days. But doing this can likely be an audit magnet.


Q2 (Reverse Augusta with a family member’s home)

Question:

If a family member owns a home, can a business owner use that home for a business purpose and structure it so they receive the rental income instead of the family member, essentially a “reverse Augusta”?

Answer:

Yes, a reverse Augusta structure is possible, but it must be for a legitimate, defensible business purpose. Proper documentation is essential.
