Frequently Asked Questions
There are numerous expenses Airbnb hosts can claim as tax deductions, which reduce their taxable income and lower their tax liability. Repairs, cleaning fees, and mortgage interest are some of the top deductions you should consider claiming. When 1-800Accountant handles your short-term rental accounting work, your designated team ensures your business claims every eligible tax deduction.
Most short-term rental hosts are self-employed business owners and must pay the 15.3% self-employment tax (12.4% for Social Security tax and 2.9% for Medicare). A self-employment deduction allows you to recover half of what you paid in self-employment taxes for the year.
If you've made improvements that you expect will depreciate faster than your residential property's determinable useful life of 27.5 years, you may benefit from a cost segregation study. A cost segregation study will identify rental property assets, such as furniture and appliances, that can be depreciated over a shorter time, such as 5, 7, or 15 years.
Bookkeeping is the backbone of accurate financial records, which aids tax compliance. Bookkeeping ensures that all financial data is properly recorded by creating a general ledger that records debits and credits. Maintaining the ledger is detailed work, but its comprehensive information provides the best tools for interpreting financial data, making decisions, and forecasting.

We can help calculate your occupancy tax obligation as mandated by state or sometimes local authorities. If you operate short-term rental properties in multiple states, we can support your operations by providing occupancy tax calculations for each state, accounting for any special rules or rate differences.
Yes, 1-800Accountant supports your Airbnb operations with financial reporting. Your accountant uses the financial information compiled by your bookkeeper to produce financial reports. These reports help you better understand your profitability, cash flow, and financial path. Often, Airbnb hosts turn to accountants for help understanding their finances at a high level, for tax planning and forecasting, and for advice.
1-800Accountant exclusively serves the financial needs of small business owners and self-employed Airbnb hosts with a suite of financial solutions in all 50 states. Our services do not currently extend to businesses operating outside the United States.
