How it works

  1. Add your properties

    Set up each rental so hours, receipts, and trips stay separate.

  2. Log hours as you work

    Record the date, time, and task for each block of work, the same day.

  3. Watch the thresholds

    See your progress toward the 100, 500, and 750-hour tests through the year.

Frequently asked questions

Does spentr tell me if I qualify?

No. spentr keeps the records. Whether you qualify depends on your average stay, your hours, and other facts your tax professional should review. Try our short-term rental checker for a first look.

Can I log hours for my spouse?

Your spouse’s participation counts toward your total, so log their work too, noting who did it.
