"This plain-language guide explains the ins and outs of taxes for short-term rental hosts. The rules covered here apply to short-term rentals arranged through online rental platforms such as Airbnb, FlipKey, HomeAway, TripAdvisor, and VRBO, as well as short-term rentals made through Craigslist or through offline local advertising, word-of-mouth, or any other means. Guidelines are given on record keeping, reporting income, deducting expenses and losses, qualifying for tax-free treatment, and repairs. The book contains line by-line guidance on filling out specific IRS forms. This second edition reflects current tax law, including the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the 20% pass-through deduction. The publisher's web site offers legal updates, articles, FAQs, and legal forms." Eithne O'LeyneEditor, ProtoView
