App Description
Track your short-term rental hours and qualify for one of the best tax loopholes in real estate.
THE STR LOOPHOLE EXPLAINED
The IRS allows short-term rental owners to use property losses to offset W-2 income—but only if you prove "material participation." That means tracking every hour you spend on your rental.
Miss the threshold? Your losses stay passive. Hit it? You could save $10,000-$50,000+ in taxes.
STR Loophole makes tracking effortless.
▸ TWO-TAP HOUR LOGGING
Log hours in seconds. Select the property, pick the activity, enter the time. Done.
▸ VOICE LOGGING
Just talk. "Spent 45 minutes responding to guest messages for Beach House." We'll log it automatically.
▸ PER-PROPERTY TRACKING
Track each property separately. See exactly where you stand on the 100-hour or 500-hour test for every rental you own.
▸ PROGRESS DASHBOARD
Visual progress rings show your status at a glance. Green means you're on track. Red means you need to log more hours.
▸ SMART NOTIFICATIONS
Weekly reminders to log your hours. Monthly check-ins on your progress. Never fall behind.
▸ CPA-READY EXPORTS
Generate PDF or CSV reports with one tap. Hand them to your CPA at tax time. Clean, organized, audit-ready.
WHO THIS IS FOR
- Airbnb, VRBO, and short-term rental owners
- Real estate investors using the STR loophole
- Anyone tracking hours for material participation
- High-income W-2 earners offsetting taxes with rental losses
THE HOUR REQUIREMENTS
The IRS offers two main tests:
100-Hour Test: Spend 100+ hours AND more than anyone else (your PM, cleaner, etc.)
500-Hour Safe Harbor: Spend 500+ hours—no comparison needed.
STR Loophole tracks both. You pick your target per property.
