What if I rent out my home through Airbnb, HomeAway, VRBO, or another company?

Usually, the income for renting your home is reported on Schedule E as rental income.

If you rented your property to others for fewer than 15 days in 2025, the IRS doesn't require you to report any rental income or allow you to deduct any rental expenses.

You would report your vacation rental income on Schedule C if you provided substantial services such as providing maid services, or providing breakfast.

You would also report your vacation rental income on Schedule C if you're a real estate professional.
