IRS Campaign 685: A Direct Challenge to Physicians

The IRS has explicitly targeted Act 60 decree holders with Campaign 685, focusing on bona fide residency and income sourcing. For physicians, this means your patient relationships, service delivery, and telemedicine operations will be under a microscope. Act 60 Shield is designed to prepare you for this heightened scrutiny. We provide a rigorous review that stress-tests your compliance against the very tactics used by auditors. Our process is designed to identify and fortify weak points in your documentation and structure before they become liabilities in an audit. This is not just about filing taxes; it's about building a defensible position, grounded in the language of IRC Section 933 and the DDEC's own performance evaluation criteria.

Fortifying Your Income Sourcing and Practice Structure

An audit will inevitably focus on whether your medical service income is legitimately sourced to Puerto Rico. Is your telemedicine setup robust enough to withstand a challenge? Are your transfer pricing agreements with mainland entities defensible? Act 60 Shield provides a deep-dive analysis to ensure they are. We go beyond a surface-level check to simulate the adversarial approach of an audit. Our review is built to give you the confidence that your practice is not just compliant, but defensible. In a world where a single misstep can undo years of tax planning, taking a defensive stance is the only prudent course of action.

The High Cost of Non-Compliance: A Physician's Biggest Risk

The financial and professional cost of a failed Act 60 audit can be devastating, involving back taxes, penalties, and legal fees that far exceed the cost of proactive defense. Many decree holders find themselves unprepared, relying on advice that wasn't built for this aggressive enforcement environment. Act 60 Shield acts as your first line of defense. By identifying potential vulnerabilities in your compliance, we empower you to reinforce your position now. This is for physicians who understand that in the world of high-stakes tax incentives, the best offense is a powerful defense. Protect the assets you've worked so hard to build.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Act 60 Shield prepare me for an IRS audit?

Our service is designed to simulate the scrutiny of an audit by stress-testing your compliance with a focus on income sourcing and bona fide residency—the top targets of IRS Campaign 685. We help you identify and remediate potential weaknesses before they are challenged.

Is this service the same as hiring a tax attorney?

Act 60 Shield is a compliance review and defense preparation service, not legal representation. Our goal is to provide a powerful second opinion that strengthens your position and prepares you for a potential audit. We work to ensure your documentation and structure are defensible, which can be invaluable should you ever need to engage an attorney.

My CPA says I'm compliant. Why do I need this?

Many CPAs, while skilled, may not specialize in the adversarial nature of Act 60 audits. Our service is built specifically to address the tactics used by the IRS in this context. We provide a focused, defensive review that complements your CPA's work, ensuring you are not just compliant, but prepared for a challenge.
