I have multiple co-hosts who help manage my house (AirBnB allows up to 3 co-hosts per listing). I want to pay a percentage of my earnings to Co-Host Missy, and a percentage of my earnings to Co-Host Jim. Makes sense, right? They're both working towards the profitability of the house, so they both should earn.
The AirBnB website only allows for one of them to receive a payout. This should be fixed. Apparently the issue has been raised to higher levels of tech support as "highly urgent" but that was about 5 days ago...still no fix.
The problem with this is that I am now earning money for hosting, but only one of my co-hosts receives a direct payout (which will be reported on her W-2 at the end of the year as "earnings"). The other co-host is not receiving a direct payout. Therefore, I have to PayPal the other co-host cash-money...cash that I'm getting taxed on at the end of the year on W-2, but I'm not truly "earning" it, since I have to enact the payout to the deserving Co-Host. This would all be very avoidable, of course, if AirBnB would just fix its website to allow direct payouts to more than one co-host.
The AirBnB case manager informed me that I'm the only person in the AirBnB World who wants to do split payouts to multiple co-hosts, and I'm curious...has anyone else had this problem?
