Act60Ready
The Act60Ready app

See where you stand against all three residency tests.

One number, and the list behind it

Presence, tax home, and closer connection — each read against the published criteria on your own records. Your weakest area sets the number, because that is how the requirements work. Under it sits a ranked list of exactly what to close.

It never guesses in your favor

Unrecorded days count for nothing. Anything the app lacks data for is labeled unknown rather than assumed. The year you move stays provisional until the three following years are recorded, and the scale stops at 97.

A preparedness read, not a determination
The count

Location-confirmed day tracking, with an audit log.

A number you can stand behind

Presence records itself a few times a day — no check-ins, no spreadsheets — into a tamper-evident audit log. A day counts only with recorded evidence: the count can understate, never overstate.

Plan a trip before you take it

Add the dates and watch the year change: Puerto Rico days by December 31, the date your record reaches 183, and mainland days against 90. Trips are penciled into your calendar and the projection only — nothing counts until the days are recorded.

Trip estimation

Presence, not movements

Coordinates resolve to city and region on your phone, then are discarded. No routes, no addresses — proof you were here, never where you went.

Privacy by construction
A month of recorded days: Puerto Rico days marked location confirmed, a week of mainland travel, and two travel days that count in both columns, with the presence log below
The log

A record that shows when it was written.

Export dialog showing the package type, the tax years in scope, and the option to include verification files

Written once, never rewritten

Every entry — a location fix, a day you classified yourself — is timestamped as it is recorded and chained to the entry before it. Corrections supersede; nothing is quietly edited away. A change to the history breaks the chain, and a broken chain is visible.

Tamper-evident by construction

The chain head, recorded daily

Once a day, where the chain stands is written down. That is what separates a day recorded in season from a day backfilled in April — a distinction an examiner cares about, kept by the system rather than argued after the fact. Checkpoints are recorded by Act60Ready and are not attested by an independent third party.

Don't trust us — verify

Every export carries the day ledger, the hash chain, the checkpoints, the original documents with their SHA-256 hashes, and a VERIFY file with the steps to recompute all of it. Your CPA can confirm the record is intact offline, without asking us for anything. The log speaks to when records were written and that they are unaltered — it makes no claim about how an examiner will weigh them.

The file

The evidence file assembles itself.

A document vault for audit evidence

Receipts, statements, leases — classified automatically into the closer-connection categories examiners use. Gaps are flagged before an audit finds them.

Every clock, tracked

Annual report, donations, fees, the two-year home purchase, Form 8898 — reminders ahead of each, and completing one files its evidence automatically.

Fifteen-year timeline

Applying? It starts here too

The app also guides preparation of your Chapter 2 filing package — guided intake, document validation, plain-language fixes. Every document seeds your vault.

Frequently asked questions

Does Act60Ready track my location?
The app records presence at a limited locale — city, state or territory, and region — plus date and time. Coordinates are resolved on the phone and discarded; raw GPS never leaves the device. There are no routes, street addresses, continuous movement history, or IP logging at ingest.
What happens if my phone misses a day?
A day counts only with recorded evidence — the counter can understate, never overstate. Manual entry is first-class: you can add or correct any day and attach evidence. Automatic vs. manual provenance stays visible in exports.
Does the app file my application for me?
No. Act60Ready prepares your filing packages and guides you through the DDEC Incentives Portal checklist. You file. The product is self-service document preparation software, not legal advice.
What does the score actually measure?
How well-positioned and well-documented your record is against the published criteria — IRS Publication 570 and Treas. Reg. §1.937-1 — applied to the data you have provided. Your weakest area sets the number. It is a preparedness read, not a determination: bona fide residence is decided by the IRS on the full facts of your situation.
Does planning a trip change my day count?
No. A planned trip is penciled into your calendar and your year-end projection only. Days count when they are recorded, and the projection assumes every day outside a planned trip is a Puerto Rico day.
How would my CPA check that the record hasn't been altered?
Every presence entry is timestamped as it is recorded and chained to the one before it, and the chain head is written down daily. Exports ship with the ledger, the chain, the checkpoints, document hashes, and a VERIFY file containing the steps to recompute all of it offline. The record is tamper-evident — a change is detectable — and the checkpoints are recorded by Act60Ready, not attested by an independent third party.
