Is it legal for me with a valid EAD card to host on airbnb???

@Stephanie12 What's an EAD card?

[Stephanie12]

its an Authorized Employment Document to be able to work in the US. Also when do we start getting tax deductions???

@Stephanie12 You'll need to contact Airbnb directly on this.  I don't think anyone in this forum could or should advise you on the legality of working in the US.

1. You sound confused on many issues: tax deductions on airbnb is something you calculate at the end of the year when you file your US tax return. You should talk to your Certified Public Accountant (CPA).

2. Your work authorization allows you to work for either a specific employer or in general, depending on the type of permit you got. Talk to an immigration lawyer because conducting business on airbnb is considered working. So you need to be in compliance with your immigration status and work permit.
