This episode of the Hospitable Hosts podcast is a throwback. We're re-releasing some of our past masterclass webinars that were available in video format only for you to listen to on the go. The tips and tricks in this episode are still relevant today but bear in mind that any references to specific dates might be outdated. This webinar ran on March 13, 2024.

We invited tax-saving experts Amanda Han and Matt MacFarland from Keystone CPA to share their insights with Hospitable hosts on correctly filing tax returns for their short-term rentals and ensuring they are not overpaying.
