I'm located in California and was recently laid off and collecting unemployment. I host an Airbnb part-time at my home and I cannot get a straight answer as to if I am to report this income to EDD. At the end of the year, after expenses, I usually operate at a loss so I don't think it makes sense to report it since I barely break even on it. (It does help with utilities and other expenses, so it's useful income!)
But I don't want to go to jail for unemployment fraud either!
I've tried to get through to someone at the unemployment office but I haven't had any luck, and even if I do get through I am not 100% convinced I will get a straight answer.
Any others in California who have already navigated this situation?
Thank you!
