FEIE Travel Tracking for Tax Professionals

Your clients track travel year-round. You get organized, audit-ready data at tax time — not scattered spreadsheets and vague recollections.

Free pilot available for qualifying firms

The Problem

Your clients’ travel records shouldn’t be your bottleneck.

Every tax season, the same pattern repeats. Your FEIE clients arrive with incomplete travel records — pieced together from memory, scattered boarding passes, and best guesses about which days count. Reconstructing a 12-month timeline for the 330-day physical presence test is time-consuming for your team and stressful for your clients.

Most firms advise clients to “keep a spreadsheet” or “use a tracking app.” Most clients don’t — or they track inconsistently and the data isn’t reliable when you need it.

The result: hours spent on back-and-forth, higher risk of miscounted qualifying days, and Form 2555 documentation that’s harder to defend in an audit.

The Solution

Your clients do the tracking. You get the results.

Clients Track Year-Round

Your clients log trips as they happen — departures, arrivals, countries visited. Presence Proof handles time zones, transit days under 24 hours, and cross-year trips automatically. No spreadsheet errors.

Evidence Stays Organized

Flight confirmations, hotel receipts, passport stamps — stored securely and linked to specific trips. When you need supporting documentation for Form 2555, it’s already organized.

Reports Ready at Tax Time

One-click PDF export with trip logs, day count summaries, and evidence indexes. Data arrives in a format that supports your Form 2555 filing — not a folder of screenshots.

Manual day-counting in spreadsheets — error-prone
Automatic 330-day calculation with transit day handling
Loose receipts, screenshots, and scattered evidence
Evidence vault with documents linked to specific trips
Form 2555 documentation you have to assemble yourself
Exportable PDF reports with trip logs and day count summaries
Clients disengage between filing seasons
Year-round tool keeps clients connected to compliance

How It Works

Four steps to organized FEIE documentation.

01

Your client creates a free account

No cost to start. Takes under a minute. Your client can begin logging trips immediately in Playground Mode — no signup required to try it.

02

They log travel as it happens

Departures, arrivals, and countries visited. The Smart Calendar counts qualifying days automatically, handles edge cases like transit days under 24 hours, and tracks cross-year trips.

03

Evidence gets stored along the way

Flight confirmations, hotel bookings, passport scans — uploaded and linked to specific trips in the Evidence Vault. Documentation builds throughout the year, not in a last-minute scramble.

04

You receive organized data at tax time

Your client exports a PDF report — trip log, day count summary, qualifying period analysis, evidence index — and shares it with you. Clean, structured, ready for Form 2555.

Common Questions

Questions from tax professionals

How does this differ from a spreadsheet?

Spreadsheets require clients to manually count qualifying days, handle transit day rules, and track 12-month qualifying windows. Presence Proof automates the calculation — including edge cases like transit days under 24 hours, time zones, and cross-year trips — and produces a structured PDF report. It also provides an Evidence Vault where clients can store supporting documents linked to specific trips, building an organized audit trail throughout the year.

What data format does the report provide?

The PDF report includes a trip log with departure/arrival dates and countries, a day count summary showing qualifying days per 12-month window, and an evidence index referencing stored documentation. The data maps to the travel information required for IRS Form 2555, Parts II and III.

Will my clients actually use this?

The product is designed for low friction. Clients can try it immediately in Playground Mode with no signup required. Creating a free account takes under a minute. The interface is focused — clients log trips and upload evidence, and the system handles the compliance calculations. We offer a free pilot so you can test adoption with a small group of clients before committing.

Does this replace my tax preparation workflow?

No. Presence Proof is a travel tracking and documentation tool — it organizes the data your clients need before they file. It doesn’t prepare returns, file forms, or provide tax advice. Think of it as the layer that runs year-round between your clients and your intake process, so the raw material for Form 2555 arrives organized.

What does it cost my clients?

Presence Proof has a free tier with core 330-day calculation, current-year trips, and a 30-day forward look. The Pro tier is $7.99/month (or $95.88/year with ~20% savings) and includes multi-year history, PDF reports, evidence storage, and optimal window finding. Bulk licensing is available for firms — reach out to discuss.

How is client data secured?

All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Secure checkout is processed via Stripe. Presence Proof does not share client data with third parties. Full details are available in our Privacy Policy.

Can I see a demo before recommending it?

Who Built This

Built by Drew

Presence Proof was born from a simple observation: expat tax professionals consistently identify travel documentation as their biggest client friction point, but the tools available to solve it are either generic spreadsheets or fragile auto-trackers that miss edge cases. I built Presence Proof as a focused, manual-first compliance tool — accurate day counts, organized evidence, and audit-ready reports — because the stakes are too high for guesswork.

I’d welcome 15–20 minutes to walk you through the product and hear your perspective. Whether it’s useful as-is or needs work, practitioner feedback is what makes this better.
