## Harborside Case Review and Lessons for CPAs, Dispensary CEOs & Investors

#### Harborside Facility Runs Into Trouble

Some of the key issues we discuss:

- Was Harborside a single or multiple “trades or business”?
- Could Harborside use the more favorable 471-11 for producers (as opposed to 471-3 for re-sellers)?
- ...and more!

Harborside Health Center, owned by Patients Mutual Collective Corporation, was one of the largest dispensaries in California. The IRS audited years 2007 to 2012 of their financials but didn’t reach an opinion until the end of 2018. The fact that this opinion is only just finalized shows just how many years a case like this can drag on and highlights all of the strain that comes with it - such as financial (legal, penalties, interest), time (years), and stress (endless).
