Airbnb Taxes for HostsTerms

What the pages here are, and are not

Everything published here is general information for a person who hosts or who keeps a listing's books. A reading of your own payout lives in an engagement. Opening a page does not make you a client. Tax rules change and land differently on different facts, so confirm anything that matters for your return before you rely on it.

A city occupancy rule is local. These pages tell you to read the letter that city sent. They do not quote a rate, a penalty, or a due date as if every city used the same one.

A first call is a conversation

A time you pick on the calendar creates no engagement, no ongoing duty, and no bill. We will say plainly what we see in the two papers and what an engagement would involve, including when the honest answer is that you do not need one yet. Work begins only when both of us sign a written engagement letter that names the scope and the fee.

Engagements, scope, and fees

Every engagement is defined in writing before it starts. Fees are quoted for that scope, and anything outside it is quoted separately before it is done. Either of us may end an engagement in writing. You remain responsible for fees earned to that date, and your records are returned to you.

What the work depends on from you

The work is only as good as the papers it is built on. You are responsible for a complete payout export, for an honest night calendar, for the city letter if one exists, and for the decisions you make. We will tell you when a deposit does not tie to the bank, and we will not build a return on a month that has not closed.

The site itself

The words, layouts, and images on this site belong to the practice that publishes it. Readers may read, print, and quote them with attribution. You may not republish the site or use it to train a product without written permission.

The site is provided as it is. We keep it accurate and available, and we do not promise it will never be wrong or never be down. Nothing here limits any liability that cannot be limited by law.

Where this is governed

These terms are governed by the law of the State of Texas, and any dispute belongs in the courts of Dallas County, Texas.

How a change to these terms is shown

When these terms change, the effective date at the top of the page changes with them. The new text is the text on the page. A change does not reach backward into an engagement letter already signed, and it does not create an engagement that was never signed. The phone number in the footer is the way to ask which version you accepted.

What a quoted reading can and cannot promise

A reading quoted on a call describes the payout and the letter you showed us. A later return can look different, and a lender can still decline the statements. Those outcomes depend on the records you provide and on the engagement letter, if you and we both sign one.
