Cannabis dispensary owners tax write-offs

Varies

What Can Cannabis dispensary owners Write Off?

Short answer: Under Section 280E, dispensaries can only deduct cost of goods sold, not rent, wages, or marketing, unless federal rescheduling takes effect.

Section 280E bars ordinary deductions for businesses trafficking Schedule I or II drugs; maximize COGS through inventory costing.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s or W-2s, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose for each expense.
