Looking to save on taxes? Claiming REPS or unlocking the STR Loophole with the IRS could be your key!REPSLog is the hour-tracking app for real estate investors who claim Real Estate Professional Status (REPS) or the short-term rental (STR) loophole. Log every hour of material participation with the date, property, category, participant and receipt attached, and hand your CPA an audit-ready PDF and CSV at tax time. iPhone and web app (app.reps-log.com), one account, synced in seconds. WHY A CONTEMPORANEOUS LOG The IRS expects a dated record of your hours kept as you go, not one rebuilt in April. • REPS: more than 750 hours and more than half of your working time in real property trades or businesses, plus material participation in your rentals (the 500-hour test). • STR loophole: material participation in your short-term rentals, typically 500+ hours, or 100+ hours and more than anyone else. REPSLog keeps a counter for each test and each property. LOG HOURS IN SECONDS • One entry form: what, when, how long, which property, who did it, with evidence attached. • Voice Logging: tap the mic, say what you did, and watch the entry write itself. Live chips confirm duration, property and date. • AI Entry Autofill: type one sentence and the duration, property, category and date fill in. • Built-in Timer with Live Activity and Dynamic Island: time the work as it happens, from the lock screen. • Quick Actions: long-press the app icon to add an entry or start the timer. • Recurring and Common Activities: one-tap tiles for routine landlord and STR tasks. • Suggested for You: personalized AI entry suggestions learned from your own log. • Duplicate an entry, or backdate one to the day the work happened. PROVE IT • Evidence Attachments: receipts, photos, PDFs, Word and Excel files on every entry, with notes. • AI Receipt and Document Reading writes a plain-language note for each receipt or PDF. • Smart Search finds entries by meaning, and by what is inside your receipts. • Entry Log Filters by date range, property, participant and category, with a live hours total. TRACK THE RIGHT NUMBER • Hours Dashboard: progress toward 750, 500 or 100 hours, by property, category and year. • STR Loophole Tracking: every short-term rental gets its own 100 or 500-hour counter, separate from your long-term rentals. • Multiple Properties: add each rental by address and mark it LTR or STR, down to individual units. • Participants: track your spouse, cleaner, property manager or co-host, so you can show nobody spent more time than you. • Custom Activity Categories on top of 13 built-in ones. CALENDARS AND IMPORTS • Booking Calendar Sync: connect Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com or any iCal feed and log the work around each guest stay. • Calendar Integration: turn Google, Microsoft 365 or device calendar events into entries in one tap. • CSV Import (web app): bring years of spreadsheet hours in at once.
