Act 60 presence test
A count of days spent on the island climbing to 183, the point where the year's presence test is met.
Days on the island.
One83 counts the days you spend in Puerto Rico toward 183, keeps the source behind each day, including the days you change by hand.
One83 is a tracking tool. It does not provide tax or legal advice. Confirm your position with a qualified adviser.
The count, handled
One83 counts your days and keeps the source behind each one.
Your calendar already knows where you have been. One83 reads the flights out of it on the phone itself, and accounts for each day of the year.



The export
A report you can hand to your accountant.
Every export ends with a total that covers each day of the year, and any day the app could not place is listed as unresolved instead of guessed.
The export names the test being met and your margin in each. Sample figures shown.

How it works
Then it runs itself.
There is no sign-up screen, so setup is the app asking you two questions. After that One83 only speaks up when it genuinely cannot tell where you were.
Open it. There is no account
Nothing to create, nothing to log in to, nothing sent to a server. Set the date you moved and One83 fills in the year from the day you arrived rather than from 1 January.
Let flight detection place the days
One83 reads your Google Calendar or your phone's calendar on the device and turns the flights already sitting there into arrivals and departures. Tap any day to correct it yourself and add arrived and left times. A day you set stays the way you set it.
Watch the tests, then export
The tests screen shows the day-count presence tests of section 937 and your margin in each. When your accountant asks, export the full record with a source on every day, a year total that covers every day and a digest that shows the record has not changed.
The record
A year of presence, one chip per day.
The grid marks one thing: the days you were not on the island. Being in Puerto Rico is the normal state, so it is drawn plain.
July 2026
- 15In Puerto RicoPlain numeral, nothing drawn
- 9Trip takenSolid blue chip, white numeral
- 26Trip bookedDotted outline, no fill
- 20TodayOne filled circle in ink
Every state separates by the shape drawn on the cell before it separates by hue, so the grid survives greyscale, a printed export and every form of colour blindness. There is no green for days present and there are no rings, because the majority state should be the quiet one.
See what a trip costs before you book it.
The bar under the count gives the year a shape: days already spent, days you have committed to, and the room that is left.
Booked travel has a size
Solid blue is spent. A dotted block is booked but not yet taken. When the dotted block runs past the end of the track, your booked travel already exceeds your allowance and the app says so in words as well as colour.
Test a trip without committing
Drop a date range into the planner and it prices the trip in island days before you pay for anything. Take the trip back out and the count returns to where it was.
No silent gaps
An evening check-in reminder appears only on days where nothing in your calendar, your location record or your own edits says where you were. Days with evidence never interrupt you.
A forecast, not a pace
The presence test settles once, at the end of the year. One83 never shows a burn rate, a streak or a daily target, because none of those are how the rule works.
Privacy
Your record lives on your phone.
One83 has no server and no account. There is nothing to sign up for, nothing syncs to us, and the only thing that ever leaves the device is a crash report.
Calendars are read on the phone and only detected flights are stored. Location evidence is optional, processed on the device, and one toggle stops it completely. A backup is written only when you ask for one, protected by a passphrase we never see.

Pricing
Free to count. Paid to prove it.
The counter, the calendar and the day-count tests are free, and your recorded history is never paywalled. Sync, the encrypted backup and the audit export are what you pay for.

Questions
The 183 days, and everything around them.
General information about how the presence test is usually counted. It is not tax advice and your own facts decide your position.
What does the 183-day presence test require?
For the Puerto Rico Act 60 individual resident decree, the presence test is most often met by being physically present in Puerto Rico for at least 183 days during the tax year. It is not the only way to pass. The presence test can also be met by spending no more than 90 days in the United States during the year, by having no significant connection to the United States, by earning no more than $3,000 of US source earned income while spending more days in Puerto Rico than in the United States, or by a 549-day test across three consecutive years with at least 60 days in Puerto Rico each year. One83 checks the ones that are countable day by day: 183 days, no more than 90 US days, more Puerto Rico days than US days, and the 549-day test. The conditions that turn on facts rather than days are not something an app can count for you.
What if my year is close to 183?
Close is where the record matters most. The tests screen shows your margin in each test, so a thin year shows up while you can still act on it. Booked trips are already inside the count, and the home screen says in words when they would take you past your allowance. Any day One83 cannot place stays marked unresolved, never quietly given to Puerto Rico, and the export lists it, so you and your adviser can settle it on the evidence. Whether a narrow year holds is a question for your adviser, and the export gives them every day with its source.
What counts as a day in Puerto Rico?
As a general rule, any day you are physically present in Puerto Rico at any point during that day counts as a Puerto Rico day, including the day you arrive and the day you leave. A day you are present in both Puerto Rico and the United States generally counts as a Puerto Rico day. Time spent in transit through the United States for under 24 hours is generally not treated as a US day. One83 follows that: a split day goes to Puerto Rico, and the export accounts for each day of the year. The edge cases turn on your facts, so confirm them with your adviser.
Is the presence test the only test I have to pass?
No. Bona fide residency for the year generally requires three tests together: the presence test, the tax home test and the closer connection test. One83 tracks presence, because that is the one that is countable day by day. Tax home and closer connection are judged on facts such as where your principal place of business sits and where your home, family, belongings and ties are. A perfect day count does not settle those two.
Do I need an account to use One83?
No. There is no sign-up anywhere in the app and no server behind it. You open it and it counts. Connecting Google Calendar is optional and grants read-only access that is stored on your device, and you can revoke it from Settings at any time.
How does One83 know where I was?
Three ways, and every day says which one it used. Flight detection reads your Google Calendar or your phone's calendar on the device and turns the flights already there into arrivals and departures. Location evidence mode, which is part of Audit Defense and off unless you turn it on, records island crossings on the device. And you can set any day yourself, which takes the place of anything detected.
Does One83 track my location?
Only if you switch it on, and only on your own phone. Location evidence mode is part of Audit Defense and off by default. When it is on, a geofence and a low-power background stream record island crossings locally. That data is never transmitted, you can delete it, and one toggle stops both the geofence and the stream. The free and Premium tiers work entirely without it.
What about travel days, transits and part days?
A day you fly out of Puerto Rico normally still counts as a Puerto Rico day, because you were physically present for part of it. One83 treats departure and arrival days as present by default, records your arrived and left times as evidence without letting them change the count, and lets you change any single day when your situation calls for it. A long layover in the United States on the way somewhere else is a common case worth checking with your adviser rather than assuming.
Will the record hold up if I am audited?
One83 produces a dated day by day record in which every day names its source, a total that accounts for each day of the year, and a SHA-256 digest that changes if anything in the record changes. Audit Defense adds a log of medical and disaster exception days and a self-contained file your accountant opens in any browser. That is the raw material an examiner asks for. It does not decide your residency and it does not replace professional representation.
I moved to Puerto Rico part way through the year. Does the count still work?
Yes. The year you move has its own rules, and a partial year can qualify when the years around it do. Set your move-in date in One83 and it counts from the day you arrived rather than from 1 January, so the count starts where your facts start. Which figure your position rests on is a question for your adviser.
Do I still have to file a US tax return?
Usually yes. A bona fide resident of Puerto Rico generally excludes Puerto Rico source income from the US federal return but still reports income from other sources, and there are separate filing obligations in Puerto Rico. One83 does not prepare, calculate or file anything. It counts days and keeps the evidence.
What does One83 cost?
The counter, the calendar, the trip planner, the day-count presence tests, the plain backup and the record CSV are free forever. Premium is $79.99 per year or $9.99 per month and adds background sync, encrypted backup, the audit export and the year-end CPA report. Audit Defense is $299 per year and adds location evidence mode, the exception log and the CPA share package. Founding members lock $99 per year for as long as they stay subscribed. When the founding seats are gone, the price is $299. Every paid tier starts with a 14 day free trial.
What happens to my record if I cancel?
You keep it. Recorded history is never paywalled, so the record, the calendar and the counter keep working. The plain backup file and the full record CSV are free forever, which means you can walk away with the whole record at any time. What lapses is the paid work: sync, the encrypted backup, the audit export, the CPA report and, on Audit Defense, location evidence.
