For 2024, I am providing a process update for 2023 earnings with images. I come here to this answer every year and have issues following it and I always wonder....hm....for this year is it still the same?
Here goes:
1. Upload your earnings file that you received from Airbnb, BUT if it's a PDF it will not be uploaded. In my case all I had was a PDF so I ended up not uploading anything.
2. Make sure the right boxes are checked as below, click NEXT at bottom right of page.
3. Business & Occupation/Retailing
Add your gross earnings in the GROSS AMOUNT box as shown below.
Do not click on blue ADD DEDUCTION button. You don't need to. The Total Business & Occupation gets autofilled in so now just scroll to the bottom and click the blue NEXT button on the bottom right.
4. State Sales and Use/Sales, Retail Sales and Use Credits
Click the blue ADD DEDUCTION button located on the same line as RETAIL SALES. In the image below, I have already added the deduction which is why the words got replaced with a number.
5. Select Deductions for Retail Sales
Now a pop up box comes up. Here you should enter your Gross Earnings in the Gross Sales Collected by Facilitator box. This is the same number as you entered in Step 3. Ciick the blue OK button in the bottom right.
6. State Sales and Use/Sales, Retail Sales and Use Credits
This takes you back to the previous page, all you do is click the blue button NEXT in the bottom right.
7. Local City and/or County Sales Tax
On this page, do nothing, just click the blue NEXT button at the bottom right.
8. Filing Category Summary/Deductions/Credits/Submitter Information
This takes you to the final overview page. Add your info then click the blue SUBMIT button at the bottom right.
YOU'RE DONE!
