AI-Powered Books for
Short-Term Rental Hosts

Stop drowning in receipts and spreadsheets. HostBooks understands Airbnb — it categorizes your expenses the right way, builds your Schedule E, and saves you thousands in missed deductions.

No spam. Just updates when we launch.

Sound familiar?

If you're an Airbnb host, you already know this pain.

📁

Receipts everywhere

Emails, Airbnb payouts, Amazon orders, paper receipts, phone screenshots. You have no idea where half of it is.

😰

Tax time panic

Every April you spend weeks reconstructing the entire year from memory. Your accountant isn't thrilled either.

🤷

Your CPA doesn't get STRs

They treat it like a regular rental — or a regular business. You're leaving deductions on the table they don't even know exist.

💸

Wrong categories cost you

Is that new water heater a repair or capital improvement? Get it wrong and you either miss the deduction or invite an audit.

How it works

Three steps from chaos to clean books.

Step 01

Upload your files

Drop in your bank statements, Airbnb payout reports, and receipts. CSV, PDF, images — we handle it all. No manual entry.

Step 02

AI categorizes with STR intelligence

Our AI knows STR tax rules cold — repair vs. capital improvement, pre-opening costs, depreciation, mixed-use rules, Schedule E line items.

Step 03

Get your Schedule E

Download a clean, CPA-ready package — every expense categorized, every deduction captured, broken out per property. Hand it off or file yourself.

Built for STR hosts, not just anyone

Generic bookkeeping tools don't understand short-term rentals. HostBooks does.

🧠

AI expense categorization

Every transaction categorized using STR-specific tax rules — not just generic business accounting that misses what matters for hosts.

🏘️

Per-property P&L

See exactly how each property performed. Revenue, expenses, and net income broken out by property, by year.

📋

Schedule E ready output

Your report maps directly to Schedule E lines. Your CPA will actually thank you — or file it yourself with confidence.

🔧

Repair vs. capital improvement

One of the most common STR audit triggers. We classify these correctly so you claim the right deduction at the right time.

📅

Pre-opening cost tracking

Furniture, setup fees, photography — expenses before your first guest are deductible. We find and capture them.

📉

Depreciation schedules

Track property and asset depreciation year-over-year. One of the biggest deductions most STR hosts miss entirely.

Simple pricing

Flat-rate tax prep, per property. No surprises.
