I also have multiple co-hosts, as AirBnB allows up to 3 co-hosts per listing. The problem is that I want to pay a percentage to Jim and a percentage to Missy, which makes sense...both work on the property, and both should earn. However, AirBnB's website only allows payout to 1 co-host...The customer service team told me and my co-host (in separate calls with separate representatives) that we SHOULD be allowed to do split payouts to multiple co-hosts...but that the website just "doesn't allow for this." This concern was elevated to the customer support team ("highly urgent") but has been about 5 days since that happened, and still no movement on a fix.
Here's why it doesn't work to "just PayPal one of the whatever he/she earns"...Taxes. Why do I get taxed on earnings that I'm not actually earning? I hope AirBnB fixes this soon.
