Fast Tax Check: Moving from Nashville to Puerto Rico

Are You a Bona Fide Resident?

Becoming a bona fide resident of Puerto Rico is the first step to qualifying for Act 60. This means more than just being on the island for 183 days. You also need to make PR your tax home and have a closer connection to the island than anywhere else. For people from Tennessee, which has no state income tax, proving this can be tricky. Our quick check helps you see if you're meeting all three parts of the test, so you can fix any potential issues before they become problems. Get peace of mind in minutes.

Watch Out for US-Sourced Income

Just because you live in Puerto Rico doesn't mean all your income is tax-free. If you're still earning money from clients or business activities back in Nashville, the IRS will likely want its cut. It's crucial to understand what counts as Puerto Rico-sourced income. Our tool is designed to quickly spot common sourcing mistakes that could put your Act 60 benefits at risk. Why wait weeks for a manual review when you can get instant insights? The compliance market is changing, and fast, automated checks are becoming the new standard.

Capital Gains on Your Tennessee Assets

Thinking of selling stocks or property you owned before moving? Be careful. The appreciation that happened before you moved to Puerto Rico is generally still taxed by the US. Only the gains that occur after you become a resident get the 0% Act 60 rate. It's a common point of confusion that can lead to a surprise tax bill. Our platform helps you understand how these rules may apply to your assets, providing a quick check on your potential liabilities without the high cost of traditional advisors.
