  • Keeps locking up

    At first I could load it, but now, opening it results in it locking up. It occasionally tells me it hasn't gotten my location today (a good thing), but it's become so cumbersome to actually interact with. I think it's correctly tracking my location, hence the second star, but it's so hard to use I want to find another app.

    Hi Mark, Very sorry for the delayed response here. If you can please reach out to support@taxbird.com, we'd be happy to help with any inputs that are cumbersome. We'll also think about things we can do to improve the process for adding planned days to make this easier in the future. Thanks!
  • Great Potential

    I’ve been using this now for almost a year.

    I’m having issues with it not tracking some of my locations when I’m traveling and this is critical for my tax situation.

    I have had to manually add my home country 3 times this year and now I logged in to be sure today is counted before I fly out out this afternoon only to see my location as “United States” 🤯🤯🤯

    I need Puerto Rico logged for today not just “United States”. I can go back and do it manually but that is defeating the point of the app 🤦‍♀️

    Is anyone else having this issue ????

  • Beyond useless

    I got it because I have a new job in NY but don’t live there and need records for the inevitable audit. Over three weeks, the app has tracked where I am EXCEPT when I am in NY when it misses about half of the days and I have to add manually. There is no way to force a check in - it missed the last two days which I entered manually and this morning and then it missed today but after I left the state on the train. I will be requesting my money back as the app is truly terrible.

  • Great for documenting residency

    I have used TaxBird for years to track and document our days spent in the states where we have houses. Mostly intuitive , generally easy to use. Well worth the modest annual cost.
  • Would recommend

    Very easy to set up and then runs in the background. Support team has been very responsive when I needed help with something. Alerts and quarterly progress reports provide peace of mind that I’m going to reach my goals
  • Great residency tracker for taxes

    I was looking for a simple tool to track the number of days I spend in my state of residence. It does that masterfully! Simple to use, I don’t even think about it yet on any given day of the year it will tell me how many days I’ve spent in each state. It also keeps track of the actual calendar days so I could retrace my whereabouts on any day of the year. Great resource!

  • Does The Job

    I’ve been a subscriber for almost five years. There was a period about one to two years ago following an iOS update that made the app very glitchy and required daily monitoring to make sure locations were being properly recorded. Since that issue was addressed the app works seamlessly in the background and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Just set it and forget it. The effortless record keeping is a pleasure.

  • Does the Job!

    Works as advertised for tracking and reporting on your state location for tax purposes. I’ve tried a couple of the other location tracking apps and TaxBird seems to be the most reliable. As others have noted, the UI for planning is a bit psinfull
  • Tax Bird app

    I have recommend this app to probably a 100 people over the years I have been using the app. It is a must have for anyone claiming residence in a state that does not have state taxes and also have another home in a state that has state taxes.
  • Love it - simple and efficient!

    After downloading and adding addresses, you do nothing. Sure beats calendar pages or excel spreadsheets. Plus I get an end of year report that I can forward to our CPA and estate attorney.
