By ·
· ,

Are you a Host on Airbnb looking for important information that you may need to file your tax return this year? Here’s a short step-by-step guide to help you find the Gross Earnings section of your Airbnb account.

1. From the Airbnb home page, click on your profile picture at the top of the page to reveal a drop-down menu. Select “Account Settings” or “Settings”

2. On the Account Settings page, select “Transaction History” from the left sidebar.

3. From the Transaction History page, select the “Gross Earnings” tab.

4. On the Gross Earnings tab, choose the time period you want to view by selecting the month and year in the “From” and “To” fields. For instance, if your tax year is January to December 2018, select these in the From and To fields.

5. To download and save a copy of this history for your tax filing purposes, select the “Download CSV”.

6. Open the CSV file in your preferred spreadsheet application. To calculate your earnings from hosting, add up all the numbers in the “Amount” column. The numbers in the Amount column represent your Gross Earnings (the listed price of your Experience) minus the Host Fee (the Airbnb service fee).

If you have any questions about how to report your Airbnb earnings, we recommend contacting a tax advisor in your area. You can also find helpful information on our UK Tax Hub.

About Airbnb

Airbnb was born in 2007 when two Hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to 4 million Hosts who have welcomed more than 1 billion guest arrivals across over 220 countries and regions. Travel on Airbnb keeps more of the financial benefits of tourism with the people and places that make it happen. Airbnb has generated billions of dollars in earnings for Hosts, most of whom are individuals listing the homes in which they live. Among Hosts who report their gender, more than half are women, and one in five employed Hosts are either teachers or healthcare workers. Travel on Airbnb also has generated more than $4 billion in tax revenue around the world. Airbnb has helped advance more than 1,000 regulatory frameworks for short-term rentals, including in 80% of our top 200 geographies. In late 2020, to support our continued expansion and diversification, we launched the City Portal to provide governments with a one-stop shop that supports data sharing and compliance with local registration rules. We continue to invest in innovations and tools to support our ongoing work with governments around the world to advance travel that best serves communities.
