Do I need a lawyer for Act 60?
Regulated Act 60 work — legal and tax conclusions, professional certifications, and filings made in a professional capacity — belongs to a licensed professional. The practical question is what to organize before that review starts.
What licensed professionals should own
- Legal or tax conclusions about your facts.
- Residency, sourcing, basis, and filing-position review.
- Application strategy, professional certifications, and any filing or agency communication made in a professional capacity.
- Professional judgment on current law and filing status.
What can be prepared before review
Residency evidence
Travel records, housing records, tax-home support, and closer-connection evidence.
Basis and sourcing records
Crypto, equity, business, and income records organized for review.
Advisor coordination
Open questions and responsibilities across CPA, advisor, and PR professional.
Deadline plan
A dated checklist for application, annual report, donation, and compliance tasks.
Act 60 Sprint organizes facts only; it does not provide eligibility verdicts.
