Defend Your Act 60 Status: A Guide for New Yorkers in Puerto Rico

Fortifying Your New York Tax Domicile Termination

New York State is relentless in pursuing former residents it believes have not properly severed their tax ties. An audit can unravel your entire financial strategy. Act 60 Shield focuses on building an audit-proof file that substantiates your change of domicile. We go beyond simple checklists, helping you assemble the definitive documentation required to withstand a challenge. This includes evidence of your new life in Puerto Rico and a clear, demonstrable break from New York. In an environment where a single misstep can lead to double taxation, our protective review is designed to ensure your exit is final and defensible.

IRS Campaign 685: Preparing for Heightened Scrutiny

The IRS has officially signaled its intent to audit Act 60 decree holders through its 'Puerto Rico Act 22/60 Sourcing of Income' campaign. This is not a routine check; it's a targeted enforcement action. Act 60 Shield is specifically designed to address the core issues of this campaign, particularly the sourcing of income and the substantiation of bona fide residency. Our system stress-tests your financial records and residency proofs against the known tactics of IRS auditors. We help you identify and remediate weaknesses before they become liabilities in an audit, providing a layer of protection that is essential for anyone who takes their financial security seriously.

The Ultimate Defense: Proactive and Thorough Record-Keeping

In any tax dispute, the party with the better records wins. This is the core principle behind Act 60 Shield. We provide a secure, structured system for maintaining all documentation related to your Act 60 compliance, from annual reports to proofs of residency. This isn't just storage; it's an organized defense file, ready to be deployed at a moment's notice. As government reports like GAO-26-107225 note, inadequate documentation is a key risk for decree holders. By taking a proactive, defense-oriented stance, you shift the balance of power, ensuring you are always prepared to demonstrate your unwavering commitment to compliance. This is the protection serious individuals demand.
