Fast Compliance Check for Act 60 Real Estate Gains

Sold property in Puerto Rico under Act 60? Don't wait weeks for an answer. Our automated tool checks your real estate gains against key compliance rules in minutes, giving you the fast feedback you need to file with confidence.

Fast Compliance Check for Act 60 Real Estate Gains

Get Instant Clarity on Real Estate Gains

The best part of Act 60 for property owners is the tax exemption on capital gains. If you sell your Puerto Rico property after becoming a resident, the appreciation is 100% tax-free. But it's not always that simple. Gains that occurred before you moved have different, more complex rules. Our tool quickly calculates the taxable and non-taxable portions of your gain based on your residency dates, so you know exactly where you stand. No more guessing. Get a clear, instant result and move on.

1031 Exchanges and Act 60: The Fast Answer

Thinking about a 1031 exchange? Here's the quick answer: you can't swap a U.S. property for one in Puerto Rico, or vice-versa, under 1031 rules. The properties must both be in the U.S. or both be foreign. However, you *can* use a 1031 exchange for properties *within* Puerto Rico. If you sell one PR investment property and buy another, you can defer the gain. Our system can instantly tell you if your intra-Puerto Rico transaction might be eligible, saving you time and consultation fees. Stop wondering and get a quick check.

FIRPTA Rules: A Quick Check for Your Sale

FIRPTA withholding can be a surprise complication in real estate deals. This U.S. law can apply if you, as a foreign person under Act 60, sell your PR property to a U.S. buyer. It creates a withholding obligation that can delay your closing. Instead of spending hours on legal research, our tool can quickly identify if your transaction has a potential FIRPTA flag. We check the buyer and seller status to give you a fast heads-up on potential issues, allowing you to address them upfront and keep your sale on track. It's the quick, affordable way to avoid last-minute problems.
