“How do I report short-term rental income from Airbnb on my taxes?”
Short-term rental income from Airbnb is often reported based on how the property is used, how much personal use there is, and whether the activity rises to the level of a rental or a business for tax purposes. The treatment can also depend on expenses tied to the property, such as mortgage interest, repairs, cleaning, supplies, platform fees, and depreciation. In many cases, the records kept for bookings, payouts, and occupancy periods shape how income and related deductions are reflected on the return, along with any local or state reporting requirements that may apply. Sitting down with a CPA for thirty minutes is usually enough to draw a clean line on this.
