Surprisingly, AirBNB only reports your host income if you have over $20,000 in earnings and 200+ bookings [1]. (These thresholds are set by statute)
Sounds like a legal fix is in order to get that down to a $600 threshold as applies to traditional 1099 reporting, but I'll assume a fix won't be made as the threshold was most likely set high as a compromise to enable such reporting to occur.
Luckily, AirBnB will collect occupancy taxes and can remit them to taxing authorities directly.
The federal threshold for reporting payments of income is $600, and there is no federal statutory threshold with respect to the number of bookings before reporting is required.
Curious that a technology company can't manage something that low-tech property management companies can handle without issue. This type of tax reporting is very easily automated, so AirBnB doesn't really have any excuse not to do it properly.
