I've read many posts by people where airbnb is withholding 28% of payout for US income taxes, and the solution is to add W-9 information on their account.
Mine is the opposite problem -- I want airbnb to withhold income tax on my behalf. I don't want to be surprised by a tax bill because of my airbnb earnings.
I entered the W-9 information, but I would like to remove it so that airbnb will start withholding for me. Is there a way to do that?
So I've just set up my airbnb and am looking to make sure that all paperwork and irs documentation is in place. Is it required to submit the W-9? I agree that if you were making significant amounts of money, you would submit quarterly to the IRS. We don't really work FOR airbnb - we pay them for their platform. So do we get a statement from them at the end of the year of the money we've paid them - and is this a tax deduction??
