Tara - congrats on buying a short term rental! There's a lot of great CPAs on here but please note that they can't (or shouldn't) advertise unless you put this forum post in the classified section.

For the occupancy tax, this is generally necessary if you go outside Airbnb and is not something that CPAs that do income taxes typically do

@Tara Omotere

Reach out to a few of the accountants here on BP who specialize in real estate taxation and tax planning, and see who you connect with.

I would also recommend looking for an accountant willing to work with you throughout the year. You want an accountant who can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the consequences of the financial decisions you are making throughout the year.

Happy to answer any questions. Good luck.

@Tara Omotere, hi. For STRs, look for a CPA who can handle both income tax and local lodging/occupancy tax compliance (registrations and filings). The fastest way to find one is through local STR Facebook groups/REIAs or a property manager referral, then vet candidates by asking if they handle lodging tax filings, which platforms/cities they work with, and whether they offer bookkeeping support.
