California Cities Can Now Pull Your Airbnb Data: An STR Host's Guide to SB 346 and Transient Occupancy Tax Compliance

Since January 1, 2026, California's SB 346 lets any city or county with a conforming ordinance require Airbnb, Vrbo and other platforms to report each short-term rental's address, assessor parcel number and listing URL as often as monthly, backed by fines of up to $10,000 per day. Covers which cities already enforce (Los Angeles, Santa Monica, San Diego), how transient occupancy tax works and who owes it, what back assessments with 10–25% penalties look like, and a plain-text bookkeeping setup that books TOT to a liability account, records platform-remitted tax, and reconciles channel by channel.

Short-Term Rental Co-Host Bookkeeping: How to Reconcile Double-Reported 1099-Ks Without Overstating Income

Airbnb reports the full gross booking on the owner's 1099-K and your co-host share again on yours — so $80,000 in real bookings can appear as $96,000 to the IRS. This guide explains the 2026 OBBBA changes ($20,000 and 200 transactions for 1099-K, $2,000 for 1099-NEC), which form you should receive, and the chart-of-accounts method to reconcile gross vs. net without overreporting income.

The Short-Term Rental Tax Loophole in 2026: Cost Segregation, 100% Bonus Depreciation, and the 7-Day Rule

How the short-term rental loophole lets W-2 earners deduct rental losses against salary — average guest stays of 7 days or less plus one of seven material participation tests move the property out of passive-loss rules, and a cost segregation study combined with the OBBBA's permanent 100% bonus depreciation can convert 20–30% of the purchase price into first-year deductions.
