Thank you, but I've already determined I'm going to use Schedule C for the airbnb. I'm asking if I can have the start date for the airbnb business during the period I was repairing past regular rental damage as well as remodeling the kitchen and bathroom. This affects whether I can actually deduct everything I did. And I was trying to understand whether that goes in start up costs or if I can just say the business started from the day I began to shift it to airbnb (opened bank account for it, started my business license for it then, hired contractor) I did actually have airbnb income for the last 2 months of 2016
