This document provides an overview of different business structures and tax considerations for cannabis businesses. It emphasizes that corporate structure is important for protection from lawsuits and taxes. A common strategy discussed is having two LLCs and a C-Corp, with one LLC holding the cannabis license, another LLC acting as a management company, and the C-Corp owning shares in the management company. This allows marking up costs charged between the companies to increase the cannabis business's cost of goods sold deduction under Section 280E, which disallows other business expense deductions for cannabis companies. Proper record keeping and cost accounting is crucial for surviving an IRS audit on cannabis tax filings.
