If Manufacturing license mixes medical and adult-use, apportion. The April 2026 order is not a blended gift. Dual shops that dump all SG&A into the medical column will lose that fight with a 280E-literate CPA. Cite Federal Register 2026-08176 and IRC §280E in the same memo.
Cited sources that govern Manufacturing license: SAFE Banking Act of 2026, S.4942 and H.R.9471 were introduced in 2026 and are not law. Hemp SKUs must be read against CRS IN12620 on the 2026 hemp definition and CRS IF13136; the redefinition date is 12 November 2026. Federal Register 2026-08176 is the April 2026 medical / FDA-approved marijuana Schedule III order. IRC §280E still disallows ordinary deductions on Schedule I trafficking, which is why adult-use books stay in 280E.
