AirBnB Rental Property: "Significant personal services"?
Hello, I built a house in 2021 to be used as an AirBnB property. I was initially was entering the property under the "Rental & Royalties" section, but I saw a link saying 'What about AirBnB and VRBO?". Under that section, it mentioned that rental income/expenses should go in the Profit or Loss from Business section (in TurboTax Home & Business) or Business Income and Expenses section (all other versions of TurboTax) if any of a list of criteria is true.
The first criteria is avg rental is 7 days or less, which is true for me, and provided "significant personal services"... but I don't know what that means? I don't have a personal "staff" working at the property. I just manage the bookings and communications with guests on AirBnB, and coordinate with my contractors (cleaners, property manager) for cleaning and maintenance (like plowing).
Is this considered "significant personal services"?
