REPSShield — The #1 IRS REPS & STR Hour Tracker for Real Estate Investors

Stop leaving real estate tax deductions on the table. REPSShield automatically documents your Real Estate Professional Status (REPS) hours and Short-Term Rental (STR) Loophole material participation — so you stay IRS audit-ready year-round, without the manual grind.

═══ WHY TRACKING MATTERS ═══

To qualify for IRS Real Estate Professional Status, you must log 750+ hours of material participation in real property activities per year — and those hours must exceed 50% of your total working time. Qualifying unlocks unlimited passive loss deductions against ordinary income, one of the most powerful tax strategies for real estate investors.

The STR Loophole (IRC §469) lets short-term rental investors deduct rental losses without the REPS 750-hour threshold — but requires documented material participation of 500+ hours (or 100+ hours if no one else logs more time in the same activity).

Without a reliable, contemporaneous time log, you risk losing these deductions in an IRS audit.
