Your Instant Act 60 Filing Checklist

Compliance starts with the right forms at the right time. You'll need to file Form 482 in Puerto Rico and Form 1040 in the US, making sure to claim the IRC Section 933 exclusion. The April 15th deadline is critical. On top of that, your DDEC annual report is due by May 31st. It's a simple list, but missing any of these can cause major headaches. Our system gives you a rapid check against these core requirements, so you know where you stand instantly. No more digging through government websites; get the essential facts in seconds.

Your bona fide residency is the foundation of your decree. You need to pass the presence test (183+ days), the tax home test, and the closer connection test. What does that mean in practice? It means having a PR driver's license, local bank accounts, and proof you actually live on the island. The IRS is actively scrutinizing this, so a quick check is essential. Our tool lets you quickly self-assess your residency status against the key requirements, highlighting potential gaps before they become problems. It's a fast and easy way to gauge your audit risk without paying for a multi-thousand dollar review.

Getting the 0-4% tax rates depends entirely on how you source your income. Did you earn it in Puerto Rico? For export services, that means the work was done here. For capital gains, it means you realized the gain as a PR resident. It sounds simple, but mistakes are common. You also have to keep filing US forms for foreign assets, like the FBAR. DecreeCheck quickly scans for common income sourcing and asset reporting errors, giving you a fast and affordable second opinion on your return. Why wait for an expert when you can check the basics yourself in minutes?
