I am married filing jointly, and my husband makes over $150k. I manage our Airbnb - am I able to claim a $25k loss on the management?

No, your total joint Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) would be over the limit to be allowed to claim any passive rental losses on your return.  The $25,000 allowed loss is completely phased out when the MAGI is above $150,000 for a joint return.  

 

This is explained further in the following article:  Real Estate Tax and Rental Property

 

Scroll to the very last section labeled What are passive activities and how do they affect me?
