All,
I am new to this hosting thing, and I'm having a hard time tracking the taxes that my guests are paying and AirBnB (presumably) is paying forward on my behalf to the state. I have read several places that in Oregon (where I host), AirBnB grosses up the amount they charge to our guests, and pay those taxes forward to the state on my behalf. When I tested by trying to book a room at my own place, I did see a separate charge for taxes if I were to continue with booking the room. However, as the host all I see on my transaction history is a net amount per night + cleaning fee I'm charging - AirBnB's service fee. Nothing listed for the taxes that were charged and paid forward. When I go to report taxes at the end of the year, I need to know how much was paid on my behalf and I'm not finding any way to see it in my transaction history or otherwise on my account. Help?
Thanks!
John
