We are seeing a drastic increase in the number of tax clients who are playing the Short-Term Rental Game.
AirBnB, VRBO, etc.
Are you also seeing a drastic increase in short-term rentals among your clients, Colleen?
Until recently, I thought I knew how to determine whether or not to report short-term rental property income and expenses on Schedule C or Schedule E.
I now believe I was something like this guy, a.k.a. “Doing It Wrong,” a.k.a. “Strong Neck McGee.”
Here are my adjusted and current beliefs:
Do we put short-term rental activity on Schedule E or Schedule C?
–Default remains Schedule E, even if short-term rental.

— Default yes.– Not if on Schedule C.
