Background: 

The IRS is using tax audits to rule that state-sanctioned cannabis businesses are deemed 'drug trafficking organizations' under section 280E of the IRS code. Through this definition of the tax code, the IRS is denying legitimate businesses from making normal deductions such as rent payments, payroll, insurance, and other usual business expenses incurred and demanding large taxes and fines on the industry. 

"We are going to challenge this tax code to make sure that patients all over America have the ability to safely fill their health care needs with safe access from medical cannabis providers who are operating clearly with state laws. This is a public safety issue and a health care right," says lead tax attorney Henry Wykowski. 

With thousands of jobs at stake, millions of tax dollars helping to balance state and local budgets, and confusion for patients looming, the 280E Reform Campaign is announcing a nationwide initiative to bring awareness to legislators, provide legal and tax council for organization threatened by the IRS audits.
