Hi there, I am in the southeast Idaho area and bought a duplex last year that I live in one and air bnb the other. I have been trying to find a cpa that is more familiar with air bnb for my taxes, I have that and I am also a w2 employee. Thank you for any advice or suggestions ahead of time. 

Cheers, chad

It's not rocket science maynge.  Just use a regular tax accountant.

I spoke to an investor today whose "regular ole CPA" completely botched the STR on the 2020 tax return. True, its not rocket science, but there is an art and a science to the compliance and strategy.
