tracking days in/out of US for NRA - any iPhone apps work?

I have a client who is a nonresident alien. She is in the US less than

183 days a year and tries to keep track in a paper calendar. The trouble is that it is now time to file, or at least pay, but she is not in the US which is where she left her calendar.

It won't help for 2011, but I've thought that if she kept that information in her iPhone, she would always have it available. The calendar app that comes with the phone wouldn't do the job. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks, Gary

She can look at her passport to see when she arrived in and left the US, although they use random pages sometimes so that makes it harder. If she extended one of her flights because of medical reasons, those extra days don't count towards the 183 day total.

Evidently, the iPhone tracks your location 100 times a day and stores the information on your iPhone. Some people were complaining about this as a privacy issue. But there is an app

shows your location. I don't know if this app can summarize the number ofhours you were in the US though. Haven't tried it. Plus it might not beaccurate because if you were in Canada close to the US border, it might pick upa cell phone tower in the US, and then the app would think you were in the US. Besides, it only works when your phone is on and you allow location data.
