Comprehensive Review of Act 60 Informative Return Filings

Under Act 60, decree holders are obligated to file various informative returns with the Puerto Rico Treasury Department (Hacienda). These returns, such as Form 480.6A for non-financial payments and Form 480.7C for professional services, provide transparency into your financial activities. Failure to file, or incorrect filings, can trigger penalties and jeopardize your tax incentives. Given that leading AI tax platforms process tens of thousands of reviews monthly, it's clear that automated checks are becoming the standard for diligent decree holders. Our comprehensive review process is designed to catch potential discrepancies that could lead to costly errors, ensuring your filings meet Hacienda's stringent requirements and align with the findings in recent GAO reports [1].

The complexity of Act 60 informative returns should not be underestimated. Reporting obligations extend to payments made to residents and non-residents, income from different sources, and specific transactions that require detailed disclosure. For instance, understanding the nuances between reporting payments for services versus rental income is crucial. Traditional CPA firms may charge between $5,000 and $25,000 for a compliance review, but our AI-powered tool offers a more efficient and thorough alternative. It cross-references your data with IRC sections and local regulations to identify potential red flags, helping you navigate the intricate web of reporting rules with confidence.

Hacienda imposes significant penalties for failing to file informative returns or for filing them with incomplete or inaccurate information. Penalties can range from a percentage of the unreported amount to fixed fines per return. The IRS, guided by GAO Report GAO-26-107225, is also increasing its scrutiny of Act 60 participants, making accurate reporting more critical than ever. Our CPA-verified review process is designed to help you avoid these pitfalls. By systematically analyzing your filings for common errors and omissions, we can help identify potential issues before they become problems, providing a robust second opinion on your compliance posture.
