Beach gear and kayaks for Airbnb guests

$100-$2,000

Can You Write Off Beach Gear and Kayaks for Airbnb Guests?

Short answer: Yes: kayaks, bikes, beach chairs, and other gear kept for guests are deductible rental costs.

Short-term rentals with an average stay of 7 days or less follow business rules; expenses are only deductible for the share of use that's rental.

Records to keep: Keep leases, receipts, a log of repairs vs improvements, mileage to the property, and closing statements.
