Very disappointed in Airbnb - are they are trying to tell us (hosts) that the tax relief package has something in it for us? It does not! I have read the legislation details for my work as a tax accountant. There is no relief for rental property owners, people whose primary or supplemental income comes from their vacation rentals, etc. The ONLY relief, and that is questionable because it is shown as a 'deferment' not a gift, is to folks who file a Schedule C treating their rental income as self-employment, or have 'employees', which most of us do not. You could go through the tedious process of applying for a disaster loan, but that is not a replacement of lost income, and it must be paid back eventually. If you've heard about the govt forgiving those loans, well yes, - if you keep all of your 'employees' on the payroll during this time. Again, who of us has employees? Airbnb, go back to Congress and lobby for our losses! Marriott and Hilton-type of lodging businesses and the airlines are getting all of it and we're getting zip. What a disgrace! I am going to send a letter to my congressman, I hope others do as well.
PS - If you read this post in other sections of the Community, sorry - it took me a few tries to find this discussion group.
