Cancellation Amount

Let me try this again..... Is there a way to find out how much you were expecting for a reservation once the reservation was cancelled? Unfortunately, Airbnb just shows $0 for the reservation. I need this information for taxes.

@Sarah977 Sorry my bad thought. It can be as far as a year old though since it's from the time it was confirmed... If that's the case I would just list down an estimate based on the price range set for the dates. Airbnb says the 25% will be sent over automatically so we can simply estimate the amount we are supposed to received against the amount they pay to us.

@Nanxing0  A lot of people seem not to deal with their email in a way that makes much sense. I've had people say they never received my email, when it simply got shunted to their Spam box, because they didn't have my email address in their address list. When I ask if they checked their Spam box, they find it there, then say they never, ever look at it. I always look at it, because I have found perfectly legitimate emails there that I needed to respond to, then I just delete the junk. Same with email inboxes- I have a friend who hardly ever answers emails- she claims she didn't see them. I figured out why- I was sitting with her one day when she was checking her email and it said "You have 1,200 unread emails"!  I asked her what was up with that and she said most were just junk. I asked why she didn't just delete them each day as she received them, if they were junk, because the real emails from friends were getting lost in the list. She had no reason, she just didn't bother.

I have a whole list of folders I shunt each email into that I want to save, so I can find them easily if I need to, not hunt back through 100 pages of emails to try to find what I'm looking for. I delete the ones that are garbage, and so all that's usually in my Inbox are emails I need to respond to.

It makes me feel stressed if I don't keep things like that organized, but lots of people aren't like that at all.

@Sarah977 That's truthfully an issue today, especially with the growing market of advertisement emails and scams, plus most people are lack of training on how to manage own resources. 

I'm surprised to see the way you deal with your spam folder. It's probably because you receive much less spams than I do, or you are more persistent on this. For me, if I have to check my spam folder every day or every other day I will be toasted. My spam folder grows up so quickly that there was a time I was on a vacation for a week. I cleared the spam folder before I left and when I came back I saw my spam folder filled with more than 1000 emails.

@Nanxing0  I actually get quite a lot of Spam, though not 1000 a week. I'm just in the habit of checking the Spam folder everytime I check my Inbox, which I do pretty much daily. I then quickly delete all the real Spam, so it never ends up with more than a dozen or so a day. The reason I always check it is that I've found emails from my sewing clients in there from time to time and a few other important things. Just like sometimes Spam shows up in my Inbox. 

I used to get about 100 Spam emails a day, after I signed up with a business association because membership gave me a discount on my business license and other fees. But they obviously sell their mailing list, because I suddenly started getting all these Spams. I was blocking all the senders for a long time,and it finally slowed down and I've not renewed my membership in that organization again.
