The numeric score (e.g., “82/100”) is visible on the free plan. The detailed breakdown showing which criteria pass or fail requires Pro.
Scoring Criteria
Core Tax Home Criteria (9 checks, 74 points)
Documentation Criteria (4 checks, 26 points)
Total: 13 criteria, 100 points.
Why Weighted?
Not all criteria are equal in the eyes of the IRS. A nurse without a declared tax home faces a much bigger risk than one missing a single mileage log. The weights reflect this — declaring your tax home is worth 15 points, while logging mileage is worth 6. This means a nurse with no tax home sees “25/100” instead of “11/13” — the urgency gap is much larger and more accurately reflects the actual risk.Conditional Auto-Pass
Items that don’t apply to your situation pass automatically:- No assignments → active assignment, 12-month rule, and distance check auto-pass
- No tax home → rent, visit, voter reg, DL, and property status auto-pass

The score is computed byalertService.js (server) and mirrored in auditReadiness.js (client) — both use identical WEIGHTS constants. The function takes user data (tax home, assignments, documents, expenses, mileage, costs) and returns the score (percentage), count (weighted points earned), total (100), and per-criterion results.
