Airbnb Tax Optimization | Complete STR Tax Strategy

[Julian2442]

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to share something that really helped me as an Airbnb host. After hosting for a while, I realized how much money I was unintentionally paying in taxes because I didn’t know all the deductions and rules. I spent a lot of time figuring out how to track expenses, manage depreciation, and stay compliant — it was overwhelming at first.

Through that process, I put together a guide that helped me organize everything and legally save money on my rentals. It’s basically all the lessons I learned in one place, with checklists and examples. I thought it could be useful for others here who want to make hosting a bit easier and keep more of what they earn.

Happy to share more if anyone’s interested!

@Julian2442 Do you plan to share for free or at a cost? Also what tax jurisdiction does it apply to? I doubt you cover the intricacies of the many tax. regimes worldwide.

@Julian2442 your profile shows you as a guest not a host 

do link to your listings and your 'checklists'
