- Tax treatment of business expenses to cannabis manufacturers

Overview of the webinar
As the number of states grow that legalize the sale of cannabis, taxpayers engaged in the production of, and/or sales of cannabis products face challenging questions about the deductibility of the company’s business expenses. In this webinar, we introduce the underlying federal income tax treatment for retailers and for manufacturers of cannabis products. In addition, we introduce the state income tax treatment of these business expenses. Finally, we discuss the general reporting rules for deducting these business costs.
Who should attend?
CPAs, Enrolled Agents, Tax Preparers, Small accounting firms, Consultants, and Individuals with a Record of Completion of the Annual filing Season Program.
Why should you attend?
If you are a small business constant or tax professionals providing tax services to taxpayers operating a retail or manufacturing cannabis business, you need to be aware of the tax rules associated with those two forms of businesses. Their rules are significantly different from other forms of businesses since federal law lists cannabis as an illegal controlled substance.
