but that all changed thanks to the legalization of marijuana in colorado. today he runs a nationwide network of cpa firms focussing on cannabis industry clients, perhaps the largest collection of cannabis-specialist cpas in the country.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>the growth of cpa jim marty\u2019s bridge west llc has been phenomenally fast, but he was able to do it only with extraordinary due diligence in a field where legality is a matter of whom you ask.<\/p>\n<p>possession of and trafficking in marijuana is still a federal offense, but the department of justice is turning a blind eye in states where it is legal. the irs still gives it the special treatment that\u2019s reserved for crack dealers and meth labs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cthere are two challenges with legal cannabis in the united states for adult use,\u201d marty told us. \u201cthose are: irs code section 280e and the banking issue. if we fix those two issues, we\u2019ll have a real industry for adult-use cannabis whether for medical or recreational use.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>under section 280e, all the costs of growing and purchasing the product are deductible, but retail expenses \u2014 retail rent, labor, advertising, health insurance, 401k, and such \u2014 are not.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c280e was really designed to keep drug dealers from deducting their uzis, their bullets, their costs of selling cocaine and other drugs,\u201d marty explains. \u201cand the irs is enforcing this rigorously. the upshot of that is that some of my clients find themselves in a tax bracket over 100 percent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>ouch<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>there are a few ways around that, at least a little around, and the nationwide network of practitioners that bridge west has formed might be able to explain it in better and more authoritative detail than we can offer here.<\/p>\n<p>the other challenge is banking, which marty describes as simply \u201cimpossible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>under the bank secrecy act and the anti-money-laundering laws, a bank cannot take on a cash-based business. if a client is bringing in tens of thousands of dollars in cash every few days, a host of questions have to be asked, a raft of federal forms filled out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201ca lot of dispensaries are doing a million dollars a month in cash,\u2019 marty says. \u201cthey pay their employees in cash, they pay the irs in cash, they pay the state of colorado in cash, their withholding taxes, sales taxes, all in cash.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>the irs and the state of colorado now have money-counting machines in separate rooms with witnesses who can attest to the amounts transferred in exchange for a receipt. marty makes sure his clients issue 1099s and respect the $10,000 limit on transactions and file the proper forms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cthe cash is a challenging issue,\u201d marty says, \u201cmost of my clients have some banking, limited banking, but they really can\u2019t use it. if you walk into a bank with ten or twenty thousand dollars every day or two, it doesn\u2019t matter what business you\u2019re in. it could be a car wash or a grocery store; the bank is going to ask a lot of questions to comply with the aml and bank secrecy laws.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>marty is confident that these two challenges will get fixed. the only question, he says, is when.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>marijuana: sort of legal, very challenging. by 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 cannabizcpa.pro denver cpa jim marty had been practicing for decades as an
