Are ALL taxes collected for us in WI

Hello, New Host in WI. After a call to Air Bnb they were confused as to what taxes are actually taken out on my account. I need to have 5% state, 0.5% county and a 6% room tax taken but it does not show that on any of my financials. Anyone else in WI and do they take out all taxes and submit them for you? Thank you

I'm not in Wisconsin, but it looks like Airbnb is collecting the 5% State sales tax and the 0.5% county sales tax, but not the 6% room tax:

You can check the taxing authorities they are collecting for by turning on Professional Tools and then going to Listing Editor/Preferences/Taxes:

If they aren't collecting the room tax, you may be able to add a custom tax. If the custom tax option isn't there, then you will have to collect that tax manually from each guest and pay the county directly according to the county payment schedule.

Thank you! It wasn't "mathing" out for me that they collected anything. I appreciate your help
