Report Event

They promised you tax-free income from your Airbnb.

⏱️ They said 100 hours would unlock thousands in deductions.

🎯 They made it sound easy.

🚨 The IRS has a different story.

In this free webinar, you'll discover:

🪤 The property manager trap - Why hiring help might kill your tax strategy (and how most owners don't realize it until audit time)

The 100-hour myth - Why hitting this "magic number" doesn't guarantee anything

⚠️ The 7-day cliff - The average rental period mistake that kills your deductions (discovered too late to fix)

🔍 The material participation test - What the IRS actually looks for (hint: it's not what the promoters told you)

The 4 questions that determine if your short-term rental strategy survives IRS scrutiny

Here's what most owners don't realize:

When the IRS audits your short-term rental strategy, they don't just look at one year. They go back three years. 📅 And your state tax authority? They follow the IRS lead.

💸 Three years of disallowed deductions.
⚖️ Three years of penalties.
📈 Three years of interest—at historically high rates.
🏛️ Federal AND state.

Do you feel lucky? 🎲

Who should attend:

🏠 Airbnb and vacation rental owners with W-2 income who were told they could offset their salary with rental losses. If you've already set up your strategy based on a seminar, coaching program, or online course, this webinar could save you from a costly surprise.

What you'll walk away with:

💡 A clear understanding of whether your current approach actually works—or if you're building a tax position that collapses under audit.

Register now. The truth about what works and what doesn't. ✔️
