What Triggers Self-Employment Tax on Short-Term Rentals

[Wendy Vaidic]

I've read conflicting information about what triggers you to have to pay self-employment tax on your short-term rentals.

There seems to be a consensus that the following does:

Airport Transportation

Providing cooked meals

Offering Tours

Cleaning during the guests' stay

Decorating the property for a party as a service

I'm not sure if these would cause me to have to pay self-employment taxes, as I've seen these items on a couple of lists but not most:

Providing a coffee station

Providing a welcome basket with food items

Providing bikes and kayaks for the guests to use

Does anyone know where the line is of what you can and cannot do and provide?
