US Income Tax question for hosts on Work Visa (H1-B)

[Shashank0]

Hi, I am in USA on Work Visa (H1-B) and wanted to confirm that i can host Guets using Airbnb. Regarding US Income Tax perspective, should i enroll myself as 'Non-US persons who have a US Taxpayer Identification Number (either a Social Security Number or Employer Identification Number) may fill out a Form W-8ECI'. 

Please let me know your answers.

Thanks in Advance.

Happy Hosting.

Anyone who knows the answer to this question? Are H1B holders allowed to earn passive income from Airbnb if they host for less than 10 days in an year?

I need everyone voting on this. I have one person from an event who is attorney said we can do it legally. Have you received any advice for this scenario? We need to look at immigration aspect as well as IRS taxation.
