STR Tax Loophole is a time-tracking app for short-term rental investors to document material participation hours under IRS §469. Log activities, upload evidence, track your team, and export CPA-ready reports in one click.
STR Tax Loophole is a time-tracking platform for short-term rental investors seeking to qualify for the passive loss deduction under IRS §469. Qualifying requires 100+ hours of documented material participation — contemporaneous records that a spreadsheet cannot provide. Logging is with voice-to-text entry, creating timestamped, property-categorized records in under 30 seconds. Investors can attach photos, receipts, invoices, and contractor documents to any entry, building an audit-ready evidence trail as they go. A live dashboard tracks hours by week, month, and year-to-date across all properties, always showing progress toward the 100-hour IRS threshold. Team members, including spouses and property managers, can be tracked separately. CPA-ready reports and supporting evidence export in a single click.
