Remitting hotel tax for direct STR stays

We simply include the tax on the invoice sent to guests, which makes it easier to track and ensures we're covered for tax purposes at the end of the year.For Chicago, I’d recommend checking directly with the city’s tax office or a CPA, but generally, you’ll need to register with the city, collect the hotel tax from guests, and remit it on a regular schedule (likely monthly or quarterly).

property management software and 1099 K

My CPA was unsure... do you issue 1090-NEC for the difference between 1099-K and 1099-MISC or do you double up the income (i.e. 1099-NEC for gross rents from PM, 1099-K of the net owner distribution on 1099-K, then owner reports double income and puts a line item expense for the 1099-K since 1099-MISC covers gross rents).You need a new accountant lolPM issues 1099-MISC, not NEC for rental income paid to property owners.You would still issue the rental income paid to the owners regardless of the payment method.The Property Owners should add an expense line item on Schedule C stating that income reported twice on Form 1099 to offset any duplicated amount.
