Tax Strategies for 280E

AAFCPAs’ subject matter expertise was sought by the U.S. Treasury and Senate Finance Committee for guidance on critical considerations regarding the 280E transition following DEA rescheduling news. As a key advisor through the AICPA, AAFCPAs provides insights to shape regulatory guidance on this issue.

AAFCPAs State & Local Tax Advisors help multistate operators streamline tax compliance and scale for continued growth. We don’t just manage your tax compliance — we reduce your administrative burden & costs.

  • AAFCPAs is a pioneer in the cannabis industry and remains forward-thinking when it comes to rescheduling. We’re already working with the team on what that might look like with amended returns and other items. As we embark on 280E amendments, AAFCPAs has been on the forefront of those discussions. They have been very helpful as we move forward. From the tax side, we stay in lockstep with AAFCPAs and are constantly having discussions, which they are very available and open to. From a 280E perspective, it would have been very challenging to do the work we’ve done without their help.
