Those with listings on Airbnb are generally house hacking or using their homes as vacation rentals on a short-term basis. It&#8217;s a great system and an excellent way to earn a premium rental charge over a typical monthly rental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But how do Airbnb taxes change your total liability?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If investors are not careful, they may end up subjecting the income earned from Airbnb or similar hosting services to self-employment taxes at an additional 15.3% rate. Let\u2019s discuss how you subject yourself to this tax and ways to avoid it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"hero-block_62ee867235a1c\" class=\"first:mt-0 hero-block py-4    has-background has-slate-300-background-color has-text-color has-slate-800-color\">\n    <div\n        class=\"gap-10 lg:gap-20 flex flex-wrap lg:flex-nowrap max-w-screen-xl mx-auto px-4 relative lg:items-center \">\n\n        <div class=\"relative z-30 lg:w-2\/3 \">\n            <main class=\"py-4\">\n                \n\n<p class=\"has-theme-slate-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:800\">Dreading tax season?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"my-3 md:my-5 lg:my-8 has-theme-slate-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:16px\">Not sure how to maximize deductions for your real estate business?

Your income from renting your house will need to be reported to the IRS when you file your tax return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that Airbnb does not withhold taxes from your rental profits. Airbnb will issue you a 1099-K if your earnings exceed $20,000 in one year, and the company will report your earnings to the IRS. It\u2019s best practice to report your total earnings regardless of your profit each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With self-employment, you are able to deduct business expenses (more on deductions later in the post). However, there is an additional income tax involved with a rate of 15.3%. Since self-employed taxpayers are both the business and the employee, you are responsible for paying Social Security and Medicare taxes. This could decrease your annual earnings and increase your tax bill if you\u2019re not careful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Understanding the 14-day rule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you rent your house or vacation house for 14 days or less during the year, you do not need to pay any state or federal taxes. Airbnb taxes are easy, then! The 14-day residence rule applies only if you live in the home for at least 14 days during the same year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reporting your earnings on Airbnb taxes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you rent your house or vacation house for over 14 days per year, then you are going to be required to report rental income earned to the IRS. The question is whether you should report this income on Schedule E or Schedule C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally speaking, you don\u2019t have a choice and must report rental income on Schedule E. This is advantageous over Schedule C because reporting income on Schedule C subjects earned income to self-employment taxes. This explains why investors who flip and wholesale properties usually establish S corps to minimize the self-employment tax liability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reporting income on Schedule C will also generally disqualify that income\/loss from the generous passive activity loss deduction, which can be up to $25,000 pending you meet adjusted gross income (AGI) thresholds. The IRS takes the position that if you are reporting rental activity on Schedule C, it is no longer rental activity but rather a business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your average rental period is over seven days but less than 30 and you perform substantial services, then the IRS assumes you are running a hotel or a bed and breakfast. This income will be reported on Schedule C and subjected to self-employment taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem is that net losses from these activities are still going to be considered passive losses, and as stated above, you may be ineligible for the passive loss offset of $25,000. So, it\u2019s really a lose-lose situation being that your earned income is subject to self-employment taxes or your losses can\u2019t be deducted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Substantial services defined<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Substantial services are primarily for your tenant\u2019s convenience, such as regular cleaning, changing linen, maid service, cooking meals, etc. Substantial services do not include the furnishing of heat and light, cleaning of public areas and trash collection. Basically, anything a hotel would do qualifies as substantial services for the convenience of your guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Implications of Schedule E vs. Schedule C for Airbnb taxes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To illustrate this, let&#8217;s assume you buy a place for $100,000 cash and use Airbnb and other hosting services to rent it out. For the entire year, you gross $25,000 and after all expenses, including depreciation and amortization, you have $10,000 net income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Assuming your average rental period was more than seven days\u2014and you did NOT provide substantial services\u2014you will report the income and expenses on Schedule E, leaving your net income as $10,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you DID provide substantial services, you will report your income and expenses on Schedule C, which subjects your net income to self-employment taxes, a 15.3% tax rate. Now your net income before being subject to your marginal tax rate is only $8,470.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to mitigate Schedule C risks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Set a minimum rental time period of eight days.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don\u2019t provide your guests with substantial services such as cleaning their rooms each day, doing their laundry, changing their linens, and providing them daily meals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you can, push your average rental period to greater than 30 days.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The key point is that income is generally better reported on Schedule E than Schedule C. Short-term and vacation rentals increase your reporting risks and can have a significant impact on your tax liability. Take the necessary steps today to mitigate your reporting and tax risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Business deductions on Airbnb taxes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You might be wondering if there\u2019s anything else you can do to minimize your tax liability. If you are self-employed, you can deduct business expenses, such as rent or mortgage, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/how-much-does-airbnb-take\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Airbnb host fees<\/a>, service fees, insurance, property taxes, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Repair costs and home improvement costs can be deducted too! Be sure to save your receipts and keep your finances organized regarding your short-term rental property. It&#8217;s better to be prepared in case the IRS has questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t forget occupancy taxes!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Occupancy taxes are paid to state and local governments when you own and operate a short-term rental property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Airbnb automatically withholds occupancy taxes for certain areas. Check if your state has an agreement for Airbnb to withhold occupancy taxes. Otherwise, you must pay them from your net profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n  <div id=\"posts_lists-block_6064a5a0d5930\" class=\"  my-10\">\n    <div class=\"\">\n      <!-- Column One -->\n      <div>\n                  <h2 class=\"mt-0 mb-1 js-toc-ignore\">\n            More on short-term rentals from BiggerPockets          <\/h2>  \n                  \n        \n        \n        <div class=\"grid grid-cols-1 gap-y-4 lg:gap-y-7 mt-5\">\n          \n<article \n\tid=\"post-121807\" \n\tclass=\"content-card mb-0 flex flex-col  post-121807 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-real-estate-business-management\">\n\n\t<header class=\"entry-header\">\t\t\t\n\t\t<!-- Image -->\n        \t\t\t<a class=\"post-thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/tips-for-growing-your-short-term-rental-business\" target=\"_blank\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"338\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/aerial-neighboorhood-view-2.jpg\" class=\"size-card w-full  m-0 aspect-[68\/45] object-scale-down wp-post-image\" alt=\"How to Scale Up Your Short-Term Rentals to a Million-Dollar Business\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/aerial-neighboorhood-view-2.jpg 830w, https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/aerial-neighboorhood-view-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/aerial-neighboorhood-view-2-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 338px) 100vw, 338px\" title=\"\">\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t        \n\n\t\t<!-- Content Wrapper -->\n\t\t<div class=\"py-4 \">\t\n                            <div class=\"flex gap-4 justify-between items-center\">\n                    <!-- Category  -->\n                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/category\/managing-scaling\/real-estate-business-management\" class=\"transition-colors bg-themeBlue\/20 text-themeBlue-medium hover:bg-themeBlue hover:text-white px-2 py-1 mb-2 inline-block rounded-sm no-underline text-sm\" target=\"_blank\">Real Estate Business Management<\/a>\n                    \n                                            <span class=\"text-sm text-gray-500 hidden lg:inline-block\">6 min read<\/span>\n                                    <\/div>\n            \n           <div class=\"flex gap-3 items-center my-2 flex-nowrap text-base\">\n                <!-- Avatar and Author Name -->\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bp-wp-migration.s3.amazonaws.com\/author_avatars\/563175.jpg\" class=\"w-8 h-8 object-cover my-0 inline-block rounded-full\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><span class='leading-snug text-slate-500 flex items-center'><span class='hidden whitespace-nowrap sm:inline-block md:hidden lg:inline-block pr-1'><span class='posted-on'><time class=\"entry-date published\" datetime=\"2020-02-12T12:00:44-07:00\">Feb 12, 2020<\/time><time class=\"updated\" datetime=\"2024-01-27T10:07:37-07:00\">Jan 27, 2024<\/time><\/span><\/span>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/contributors\/jasonallen-12\" class=\"no-underline line-clamp-1\" target=\"_blank\">Jason Allen<\/a><\/span>            <\/div>\n\n            <!-- Post title -->\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"entry-title js-toc-ignore mt-4 mb-0 text-xl leading-snug text-left\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/tips-for-growing-your-short-term-rental-business\" rel=\"bookmark\" class=\"whitespace-normal no-underline font-bold  text-slate visited:text-slate hover:text-themeBlue\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\tHow to Scale Up Your Short-Term Rentals to a Million-Dollar Business\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\n                        <p class=\"text-lg font-normal mt-3 text-slate-500 mb-1 line-clamp-3\">Your first few properties are up and running successfully, and you are earning decent cash flow every month.
