STR Tracker (the "App") is a record-keeping tool only. Nothing in the App — including hour thresholds, progress indicators, labels such as "Met" or "Not yet," reports, reminders, or any other content — constitutes tax, legal, or accounting advice, and nothing in the App creates an accountant-client or attorney-client relationship. The App exists solely to help you record and organize evidence that you create; it takes no position on how that evidence should be used.
References to figures such as "750 hours" (real estate professional status) or "100 hours" (a material participation test) are simplified summaries of complex provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulations (including IRC §469 and related regulations). Whether you qualify for any tax status or deduction depends on many factors the App does not and cannot evaluate, including the nature of your activities, participation of other persons, average rental periods, and your overall tax situation. Tax law and its interpretation change frequently, and the App may not reflect current law.
You are solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and truthfulness of every entry you record. The App displays and formats the data you provide; it does not verify, audit, or validate it. The IRS, other tax authorities, and courts decide what documentation is sufficient — generating a report with this App does not guarantee that your records will be accepted in an audit, examination, or any other proceeding, and we make no representation that they will be.
We assume no liability of any kind for your tax positions, filings, elections, deductions, credits, penalties, interest, audit results, or any other tax or legal outcome. Any decision to rely on records kept in the App is yours alone, made at your own risk.
Before taking any tax position, including positions related to short-term rental activities, material participation, or real estate professional status, consult a qualified tax professional (CPA, enrolled agent, or tax attorney) who can evaluate your individual circumstances.
STR Tracker is designed to help you quickly generate a report of your logged hours for a tax year — it is not a permanent archive of your files. With Standard storage, your data for a completed tax year is permanently deleted on September 15 of the following year (the extended filing deadline). This means you retain at most two tax years at a time: the current year and the previous year until September 15, after which the previous year is erased. It is YOUR responsibility to export and save your report (PDF or Excel) for each tax year before that date. We will show in-app reminders and may send email reminders in advance, but deletion will proceed regardless of whether you have exported. The Cloud Plus add-on removes this limit — your history is kept indefinitely while it remains active, and file/storage limits are increased. STR Tracker is not liable for records you did not export before deletion.
