Generally if you average 7 or fewer nights or 8-30 nights and provide "substantial" services such as tours, house cleaning during a stay, meals, etc you DO have to pay self employment tax.Kudos to this CPA site (tarlow. com/2018/01/02/tax-ramifications-short-term-rental/):"When property is rented for short periods, special (and sometimes complex) taxation rules come into play, which can make the rents excludable from taxation; other situations may force the rental income and expenses to be reported on Schedule C (as opposed to Schedule E).If you have been renting your home or second home for short periods of time, here is a synopsis of the rules governing short-term rentals so you can prepare yourself for the upcoming tax season.Rented for Fewer Than 15 Days During the Year: If you rent your property for fewer than 15 days during the tax year, the rental income is not reportable, and the expenses associated with that rental are not deductible.
