@Ryan Angelo

Yes we have a cleaner and a maintenance person but I self manage

@Ryan Angelo anytime :) we are learning too. Our first STR in Sevierville started in March. We are finally starting to do well :) hopefully stays that way!

@Ryan Angelo Airbnb only takes care of State of Tennessee Sales tax. Not Sevier County Lodging Tax. You'll have to take care of that. First thing you'll need to do is register for a business license with the clerk. Once you do that you can use that license number to file the taxes.

Does anybody self manage their own cabin and file their own monthly sales and excise taxes with the state of Tennessee? We are new to the game and are trying to figure it all out. We are only listed on Airbnb and they claim they are withholding state taxes. So when filing, do they provide the documentation? How do I know how much has already been sent into the state?I see the amount that has been paid out to me but not the gross amount. Any pointers?

Thanks,

Very new to Gatlinburg STR game. Been on AirBNB for almost a month. Just had 6 cancellations in the last 2 days....trying not to panic. How is everyone else doing?

@Collin H. Wow. That's horrible ☹️

Hello all,

Those of you self managing, how do you send your rental agreement? do your guests fill it out and sign it or do you pre-populate it for them? 

Thanks,

Maria

Staring up my first STR in the Gatlinburg area next week! Does anyone have a good recommendation for a any photographers in the Gatlinburg area who specializes in photographing cabins?

So mytaxlodge.com is a tax service. Do I need to get a business license to file taxes?

Does anyone know any reputable cleaners in the Gatlinburg area? We are having a hard time finding anyone. Does close on our cabin in the next two weeks. Thanks!
