About this app

Prove material participation. Protect your tax deductions.

HourProof is the definitive tool for STR and LTR property owners who need to document material participation hours — the IRS-required standard that lets you deduct rental losses against ordinary income.

Why HourProof?

The IRS requires 750 hours of material participation for Long-Term Rentals and 100 hours for Short-Term Rentals. Without contemporaneous records, those deductions vanish under audit. HourProof builds your audit-proof log in minutes a day.
