Local/State Taxes or Not?

It appears that Airbnb is collecting and paying taxes (based upon my location in Massachusetts)

However, MassTax says they have received no payments (other than mine)

Are they doing it or not?  (12 pages of "help" later, I still can't tell)

Hi folks - is anyone else getting taxed for stays > 30 nights? The tax law is clear that stays < 30 nights are to be taxed, yet Airbnb is charging taxes for reservations > 30 nights. This is impactful to guests and hosts since they are overpaying by up to 17.95%. I raised this to customer support and they couldn't help me and pointed me to raise this to Airbnb in the feedback form. Not helpful so far.
