20/20 Money Episode #156 – How the “Augusta rule” can provide tax-free income from your optometry practice

November 1, 2021

If you’re a practice owner and a homeowner, there’s a little planning strategy that can allow you to get money out of your practice tax free. It’s not going to add up to a massive amount of money, but every little bit helps. It’s called the “Augusta” rule and it allows someone that rents out their home for 14 days or less the ability to receive rental income tax-free. In this episode, I’ll share how this can be applied to optometric practice owners.
