I had stopped Airbnb is from collecting and remitting Illinois Hotel Operators’ Occupation Tax (HOOT) for my listing, until recently they added themselves back and I cannot remove them. But I received guidance from IDOR saying that as of 7/1/25: - Airbnb is now a “re-renter” - Hosts are still responsible for the state tax - And our obligation isn’t eliminated even if Airbnb already paid So I’m confused: - Are we supposed to file/pay anyway (risk of double tax)? - Or just file and report $0 due? - Has anyone gotten clear guidance or handled this already? Feels like a disconnect between Airbnb and Illinois — would love to hear what others are doing.

Hello, does anyone who has a direct booking website have any experience with Truvi, formerly known as superhog? This is a company that does background checks as one of their services. What are people’s general feelings about this? I worry that guests will not feel comfortable providing information for background checks and not book but at the same time I want to protect my property. Any thoughts? Thanks!

What are the tax implications of giving out refunds vs. purchasing gift cards for guests?
