  1. Federal income tax: Airbnb rental income is subject to federal income tax and must be reported on your federal tax return.
  2. State and local taxes: Depending on where the property is located, you may also be subject to state and local taxes on Airbnb rental income.
  3. Sales tax: Some states require Airbnb hosts to collect and remit sales tax on their rental income.
