TAXPAYER: J. RIVERA / TAX YEAR 2026 / REPS

01 / The problem
The hours are real. The log is what fails.
01
750 hours of real work
You took the calls, chased the contractors, and handled the turnovers. Doing the time was never the hard part.
02
A log the IRS will not accept
Round numbers, vague descriptions, no timestamps, and nothing that proves the entry existed before the notice arrived.
03
Deduction denied
A reconstructed log is the single easiest thing for an examiner to throw out, and the bill lands years later with interest.
Case on record
Bailey v. Commissioner
The taxpayer did the work. The log was vague, created after the fact, and built on round numbers. The deduction was denied and the loss ran into the thousands.

02 / The solution
Your log builds itself.
Every message you already send becomes a dated, described, evidenced entry. Nothing to type. Nothing to remember at year end.

04 / What you get
Built for the test you actually have to pass.
CAPTURE
Automatic, not manual
Nothing to type at the end of a long day. The work you already did creates the entry.
EVIDENCE
Proof on every line
The original text, voicemail transcript, or payment alert stays attached to the entry it created.
STR
Participant comparison
Track your hours against everyone else who touched the property, for the 100-hour material participation test.
EXPORT
Audit-ready PDF
A dated, described, evidenced log formatted the way a CPA and an examiner expect to read it.
PRIVACY
No app, no OAuth
We never connect to your Gmail. Only the messages you choose to forward ever reach us.
COVERAGE
REPS and the STR loophole
750 hours or 100 hours, both tests tracked side by side across every property you own.
