Generally, if your income is more than 150K and you have a loss from a rental, then you can’t deduct that rental-loss on your tax return. AirBNB rentals generally aren’t classified as “rentals” for tax-purposes and instead are classified more like hotels – thus they aren’t subject to this loss-limitation. In addition, you can use cost-segregation techniques to ensure large depreciation deductions in the early years of your AirBNB rental and use those losses to offset your other income.
