Maximize Tax Benefits with the Augusta Rule

Amidst the bustling activity of the famed Masters Golf Tournament in Augusta, Georgia, lies a savvy tax-saving opportunity within the U.S. tax code—specifically, Section 280A(g). Known commonly as the 'Augusta Rule,' this provision permits homeowners to lease their primary residence for up to 14 days each year, exempt from federal income tax reporting. This strategic advantage can be especially beneficial during large events, like the Masters, where temporary accommodation demand surges.
