Side Hustle & Gig Income

“I drive for Airbnb on the side, what can I deduct and what do I owe?”

Driving for Airbnb on the side can raise several tax questions, since the answer often depends on how the work is set up, whether you are treated as self-employed, and what records you keep for mileage, fuel, maintenance, phone use, and other business-related costs. The tax picture also depends on how much income came in, whether any payments were reported on tax forms, and whether the activity is a true side business or more occasional income. In many cases, the details of your driving expenses, vehicle use, and recordkeeping shape both the deductions available and the tax that may be owed. A CPA who reads your specifics can usually tell you, in plain English, where this lands.
