Can I make someone else a host if I own the property? Tax Implications?
Hey Everyone. So I'm in the process of creating an AirBNB listing but would like to make someone else the host so that they would serve as the primary contact. I would prefer to be listed as the emergency contact in case the primary host cannot be reached. However, are there tax implications to this kind of arrangement? Would AirBNB still recognize me as the property owner and the one collecting the payments once they generate tax documents? Any advice here would be appreciated.

Yes you can do that. You can add another member/user as a Co-host in AirBNB or your booking engine.
Or you can have an assistant share the credential, so they can handle the communication on behalf of you. Either of these scenarios, there is no tax implications
