I have just started hosting with Airbnb and live in Maine.  On their website it says they collect the taxes....is there anything i have to do?

@Karen1729 

Your listings booking form showes Airbnb is charging taxes to guests:  "General Sales and Use Tax (Maine)"

@Karen1729 @Emiel1 is correct.  My listings are in Maine and Airbnb collects Maine State occupancy taxes on hosts' behalf.

So i don't have to worry about colkecting or paying tax.

Thank you so much for your help you two!
