Benjamin West AirBnB Stay Tax Deductible?

For example, if, in an 18 hour waking period, you spend 2 hours snooping through the AirBNB, writing down the makes and models of appliances, figuring out the distribution of the mini shampoos and inventorying how many cooking supplies your hosts are providing and the thread count of the sheets, then an auditor might allow you to take 10% of your total trip expenses as a deduction.If, however, in an 18 hour waking period, you spend 6-8 hours per day interviewing Hosts, researching which properties would make good AirBNBs, researching the local laws, touring properties, meeting with an agent and vigorously pursuing your next acquisition, you'd have a MUCH better case for writing off your travel expenses (but probably not your lift tickets and equipment rental).If, on the other hand, you are traveling and on vacation and just hang out in your AirBNB without actually performing any activities, then the odds that an auditor will allow any deduction at all is pretty minimal.In any audit, it would be up to you to document the business purpose of your trip.
