Hello -- I am interested in short-term renting my house for a bit at the end of this year and ran across the 15 day rule for excluding the rental income from taxes. I wanted to see if anyone knew the specifics for how those 15 days are calculated? As things stand now I have 13 nights booked with a check-in time of 4pm and check-out time of 11am. Does anyone know if both the day of check-in and check-out count as full days for tax purposes? If so, even though I only have 13 nights booked am I at risk of exceeding 14 days? Thanks!!

You are charging a daily rental fee and they are spending one night. That is one day. Even if they checked in at 11 am and out at 11 am, that is still one day.
