Qualifying for IRS Real Estate Professional Status can save you thousands in taxes — but only if you can prove you hit 750 hours. REPS Hours makes tracking and documenting those hours effortless.
LOG HOURS IN SECONDS
Just tell the app what you did. Our AI understands natural language like "Spent 2 hours showing the duplex on Main St to prospective tenants" and automatically categorizes your entry, assigns the right property, and scores it for audit strength. Or use Quick Pick to tap a common activity and log it in under 5 seconds.
STAY ON PACE ALL YEAR
Your dashboard shows exactly where you stand: total hours logged, daily target to hit 750 by December 31, weekly progress charts, and smart pace alerts when you're falling behind. No more scrambling in Q4.
BUILT FOR AUDIT CONFIDENCE
Every entry gets an audit strength score so you know which descriptions would hold up under IRS scrutiny and which need more detail. Export your complete log anytime to share with your CPA or keep for your records.
MULTIPLE TRACKING GOALS
Whether you're pursuing the standard 750-hour REPS qualification, the 500-hour material participation test, or the 100-hours-more-than-anyone-else test, REPS Hours adapts your dashboard and pace calculations to your specific goal.

I manage 3 rental properties, and keeping my hours straight across all of them has been a constant struggle. What finally got me to try this app was my CPA — they recommended it specifically because of how well it documents hours for audit purposes. When my accountant tells me something, I try to listen. The audit rating feature is the standout for me. Every entry gets scored on how strong it is against IRS standards, so I'm not just logging time blindly and hoping it holds up if I ever need it. I can see in real time whether an entry is detailed enough to be credible, which has completely changed how I document my work. It's like having a second set of eyes on every entry I make. The other thing I love is being able to see all my hours across multiple properties in one clean, easy-to-read place. Instead of juggling separate spreadsheets for each property, everything lives together and I can view it by property whenever I need to. At tax time, handing my CPA a clear, organized report instead of a mess of files has made the whole process so much smoother and faster for both of us. Highly recommend to anyone managing more than one property!
Excel to REPS Hours simplicity
JB OBIE
★★★★★I've been tracking hours for material participation on my rental, and like a lot of investors, I'd been keeping everything in an Excel sheet for ages. My biggest hesitation with trying any app was the thought of starting over from scratch and re-entering months of data. That turned out to be a non-issue — I uploaded my existing Excel sheet and it imported everything for me. No manual re-entry, no headaches.Once my history was in, logging new time became the easy part. The app makes it simple to keep up with material participation tracking day to day, which matters because the IRS wants to see consistent, contemporaneous records — not something you throw together at tax time. Having all my past and current hours in one organized place gives me real confidence heading into tax season.If you've been putting off switching because you don't want to lose your existing data, don't worry about it. The import made this completely painless, and I only wish I'd made the move sooner.
Finally hour tracking that doesn’t feel like a chore!
Stay Awhile Rentals
I’ve been tracking my real estate hours for REPS purposes for a while now, and I genuinely wish this app had existed sooner. I started out doing everything manually in a spreadsheet, and the difference is night and day.The thing I love most is being able to just talk to the AI and tell it what I did. Instead of stopping to format a spreadsheet row, I can describe my task in plain English — “met the cleaner for a mid-stay check, about 45 minutes” — and it logs the entry for me. It even rates how strong each entry is against IRS audit standards, which gives me real peace of mind that I’m documenting things the right way and not just guessing.It’s also incredibly easy to track on the go. I log my hours as I go throughout the day instead of trying to reconstruct everything at tax time, which is exactly what the IRS wants to see. The whole process takes seconds.My favorite part might be that I always know exactly where I stand on my total hours. Being able to see my running total at a glance means I’m never wondering if I’m on track to hit my thresholds — I just know. That kind of clarity is huge when you’re working toward REPS qualification.If you own rental properties and track hours for tax purposes, this is a no brainer. There’s a 14-day trial so there’s no reason to not give it a try. Highly recommend!

Being in the vacation rental business for over 20 years, I only wish an app like REPS Hours had existed sooner!Tracking my hours for cleaning, driving, restocking and booking time were tedious chores - error-prone processes - now my logging is precise and consistent. So easy to use! If you’re serious about staying up to date on all the ins and outs of tracking the unending details of property management to send to your CPA or the IRS, this app is THE game-changer you can’t afford to skip.
