Taxes

[Nilsa11]

I’m trying to find answers to a simple question. I am hosting an Airbnb. The only benefits I get from that is the cleaning fee. But when I got my 1099 and I saw my document on Airbnb app, I noticed that they withheld taxes and remitted them to the IRS for a little bit over $900, my question is do I need to report this as pay taxes or how does it get reported on my tax forms?

Why if you own a listing would the only benefit you get,  be the cleaning fee @Nilsa11 ? 

if you don't own it - the listing should be in the owners name so any tax on the income is attributed to them .

if you are the cohost then you would normally get the cohost fee and cleaning fee (if you clean too) and pay tax on that proportion of the income .
