Fast-Track Your First-Year Act 60 Tax Compliance Check

Quick Start: Nailing the Initial Setup

Getting your Act 60 setup right from the start doesn't have to be a drawn-out process. The key is establishing your bona fide residency in Puerto Rico and ensuring your business income is correctly sourced. With the market for digital compliance tools growing over 80%, there's no need to rely on slow, traditional methods. Our platform lets you quickly check if your setup aligns with key requirements like the Presence Test and income sourcing rules under IRC Section 933. Instead of waiting for expensive consultations, you can get an instant check on your compliance status, ensuring you're on the right track from day one.

Your First Filing: A Simple Compliance Check

Your first Act 60 tax filing can seem intimidating, but it boils down to a few key areas. Are you correctly reporting income earned before and after your move? Have you filed the right local Puerto Rico forms, like the Planilla? Mistakes in these areas are common, as noted in government reports like GAO-26-107225. Our tool is designed to run a quick check on these critical points. In minutes, not weeks, you can identify potential red flags in your filing strategy. It's a simple, affordable way to get a second opinion before you file, giving you peace of mind without the high cost of traditional reviews, which can range from $5,000 to $25,000.

Dodge Common Errors Instantly

New decree holders often make the same handful of mistakes, from poor record-keeping for the 183-day rule to forgetting to file U.S. forms like the FBAR or Form 8938. These simple errors can lead to major headaches. Why wait to find out if you've made a mistake? DecreeCheck is built for speed. Our system scans for these common pitfalls, giving you a rapid assessment of your potential risks. In a market where most decree holders find help through word-of-mouth, our tool provides a fast, accessible, and reliable alternative to ensure your first year is free of easily avoidable compliance issues.
