I received tax due notices and failure to file my sales tax return notices. A lot of it was my ignorance and not filing. I just filed all the monthly sales tax returns (the occupancy tax for hotels/short term rentals in Missouri is collected as sales tax) for each month in 2022. The amount that I owed was much less than the original notices Missouri sent me. I assume Missouri received some payment and occupancy information from Airbnb and that's how they knew to even send me the notice.
Anyway I paid the amount I owed as calculated on my returns and then started working on 2023 taxes to get caught up. As I started doing that and looking at figures I see that Airbnb has been collecting occupancy taxes from my guests on my behalf. But none of the tax collected was credited to my tax account with Missouri. Now I have to figure out where that money went. Either Airbnb has kept it or it went into some general unassigned account with Missouri or assigned to a different account. Does anyone have any information on how to get this all straightened out? Both Airbnb and Missouri have my business EIN so it seems it should all link up.
