Automatic residency day tracking
Know where you stand on residency — before it costs you.
TaxRoost counts your days in every state and country automatically, warns you before you cross a residency line, and hands your CPA an audit-ready package. Your location never leaves your phone.
Built for snowbirds, remote workers, and anyone splitting the year across states or countries — where a single miscounted day can mean a second state taxing your whole income.
How it works
Three taps to peace of mind.
Turn it on
Grant location once. TaxRoost notices which state or country you're in and logs the day for you — no daily check-ins, almost no battery.
Fill in your past
Rebuild the days you've already spent this year from your photos, calendar and workouts — right on your phone. Even the trips your GPS never saw.
Stay ahead of the line
Watch a live gauge for each state, get warned before you cross 183 days, and send your CPA an audit-ready package in one tap.
Everything you need
The whole year, handled.
Automatic day counting
Every state and country, counted for you as you travel — with the border days and part-days the 183-day rule actually turns on.
Live gauges & alerts
A stoplight gauge for each place you watch, plus staged alerts at 150, 170 and 183 days so a limit never sneaks up on you.
Map, calendar & simulator
See your year on a map and a color calendar, and run "what if I travel less?" to plan around a line before you cross it.
Audit-ready CPA package
A per-state day-count summary plus a day-by-day ledger with evidence and an integrity seal — PDF, Excel or CSV, sent in a tap.
Private by design
Your exact location is processed on your phone and never leaves it. Only the derived day and place is saved — never your coordinates or your photos.
Visa & Schengen trackers
A rolling Schengen 90/180 clock and substantial-presence tracker for the international travelers a US-only app forgets.

Questions
Good to know.
How does TaxRoost count my days?
TaxRoost resolves your location on your phone and logs which state or country you were in each day — automatically, with almost no battery cost. It never uploads your coordinates; only the resolved day and place sync to your account.
Can it recover days I never tracked?
Yes. TaxRoost rebuilds the days you've already spent this year from your photos, calendar and workouts — right on your phone — so trips your GPS never saw still show up.
Is my location really private?
Your exact location is processed on your phone and never leaves it. Only the derived day and place is saved to your account — never your raw coordinates, and never your photos.
What does it cost?
Free to start — automatic counting, live gauges, alerts and CSV export. Pro is $39/year and adds audit-ready PDF and Excel packages, unlimited watched jurisdictions, and the visa trackers.
Will it help in an audit?
TaxRoost builds an audit-ready package — a per-state day-count summary plus a day-by-day ledger with evidence and a content-integrity seal — that you can hand to your CPA in one tap.
