Thanks Cathy so much for the information!
Now that Airbnb handles the sales tax, I don’t have to worry about it! Haha.
What happened was, I reviewed the tax code, was confused on the cleaning fee, so I called their dept to ask questions. What I was told, was not the same as the auditor told me.
Luckily I had paid 90% of the taxes so it wasn’t a huge hit, just disappointing.
I spoke with the audit manager and I am concerned about what he told me. It sounds as if this is a known issue, but instead of fixing the wording to be more clear, they are going to just keep charging people penalties and interest.
Leason learned, pay someone like yourself to get the full story, and don’t trust info given from them directly.
At least this will be a loss on my taxes this year!
