The Cannabis Fix Kit
Built for cannabis businesses.
Cannabis businesses carry federal tax and reporting rules that no other retail business has, and 2026 changed part of the picture. In April, the Justice Department moved state-licensed medical marijuana to Schedule III, which takes those licensees out from under the tax rule that blocked ordinary business deductions. Adult-use sales were not moved. The leaks now sit in that split, in cash rules, banking costs, inventory, vendors and payroll. State rules vary, so every step points you to your own state's rules and your own records. This kit finds where the money leaks in your own work and gives you the steps and the words to close each one.
