TaxTrax Does The Work While You Live Your Life.

🛰️

GPS Auto-Detection

Detects border crossings automatically using significant-location-change monitoring. Battery-optimized — only triggers when you move 500m+.

🗺️

State & Province Level

Not just countries — states and provinces too. Ontario vs. British Columbia. Alaska vs. Nevada. The granularity that compliance requires.

🛡️

Threshold Alerts

Real-time 183-day monitoring with push notifications before you cross the line. Set your warning threshold. Never be surprised.

📸

Memory Mode

Tap any day and see your photos from that location. TaxTrax reads photos from your library and never stores or uploads them.

📄

Accountant Reports

One-tap PDF export with full trip log, country breakdown, and jurisdiction calculations. Hand it directly to your cross-border tax advisor.

🔒

Private by Design

Your travel history stays on your device by default. If you choose to enable it, optional iCloud backup securely stores your TaxTrax data in your private iCloud account.

🇺🇸

FEIE Physical Presence Test

Track 330 days outside the U.S. for the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion. Rolling 12-month window calculation built in. Essential for Americans abroad.

🛡️

Security Clearance Compliance

SEAD 3 foreign travel reports and SF-86 security clearance exports. GPS-verified travel history for U.S. federal employees and cleared contractors.

✈️

Trip Purpose Tracking

Log business vs. personal travel after each trip. Generates SEAD 3 compliant reports automatically. No defaults — you choose deliberately.

☁️

Optional iCloud Backup

Choose whether to back up your travel history to your private iCloud account and restore it on another compatible Apple device signed into the same Apple Account. TaxTrax cannot access your backup.

Travel History from Photos

Your photos remember the trips you took.

Start building your travel history from before you installed TaxTrax. With your permission, TaxTrax reads the dates and locations saved with your photos and turns them into suggested country stays for your timeline. Included free.

  1. Choose your date range

    Open Import Travel History from Photos in TaxTrax and choose the period you want to reconstruct. Allow access to the photos you want to use.

  2. Find your past stays

    TaxTrax uses recorded photo dates and locations to suggest where you spent time, including time at home. It helps fill in your timeline without entering every trip from scratch.

  3. Review and add to your timeline

    Choose the suggestions you want to add as draft trips. Check the dates, make corrections, and fill in any missing days or trip details.

Your photos stay yours. Photo scanning happens on your device. TaxTrax does not upload your photo images to build your travel history.

A head start, with you in control. Photos need usable dates and location data. Missing photos or geotags can leave gaps, and suggested dates may be approximate. Review your history against your own records before using it in a report.

Zero Effort

Set It and Forget It

No daily logging, no manual entries. TaxTrax works the way your phone's step counter does — silently and always.

Download & Set Up

Enter your home country and enable location access. Free to use. Takes under 2 minutes.

Travel Normally

TaxTrax runs in the background. Cross a border and it logs it automatically with timestamp and location.

Monitor Thresholds

Get notified when you're approaching the 183-day limit in any tracked country. No surprises.

Export for Your Accountant

One tap generates a full PDF report with trip log and jurisdiction calculations. Done.

Rule Engines

Built for the real rules.

Not every country uses a simple 183-day count. TaxTrax understands the actual calculation for each jurisdiction.

Cleared Personnel

Built for Security Clearance Compliance

4.2 million Americans hold security clearances. Every one must report foreign travel. Most track it in a spreadsheet — or don't track it at all.

TaxTrax automatically maintains the GPS-verified foreign travel record you need for:

NOT AN OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT DOCUMENT. Consult your FSO for reporting requirements.

  • 📋

    SEAD 3 Reporting

    Every country visited, with entry and exit dates, automatically logged.

  • 🗂️

    SF-86 Renewal

    10-year travel history ready when you need it most.

  • ✈️

    Post-Trip Reporting

    Log trip purpose, foreign sponsorship, and foreign contacts after each trip.

  • 📄

    FSO Export

    One-tap PDF formatted for your Facility Security Officer.

📱

On-Device by Default

Your travel history stays on your device by default. Optional iCloud backup is available if you choose to enable it, with data stored in your private iCloud account.

🔋

Battery Optimized

Uses Apple's significant-location-change API — only triggers on meaningful movement. Negligible battery impact in real-world use.

⚖️

Informational Only
