I will do vrbo bookkeeping, payout reconciliation and schedule e tax prep

Are your VRBO payouts a mystery?

You get a deposit from VRBO, but you can't tell how much is real rental income, how much is cleaning fees, and how much is lodging tax you might owe.

You're not alone. VRBO's 1099-K shows gross amounts including platform fees, collected taxes, and refunds. Recording only the net deposit means you underreport revenue and miss deductions.

I fix this.

As a bookkeeper specializing in short-term rentals, I reconcile every VRBO payout back to its component parts:

Payout reconciliation unblend net deposits into rental income, cleaning fees, VRBO service fees, and refunds

Schedule E preparation most VRBO hosts file here, not Schedule C. I know the difference and how to document it

Lodging tax tracking by jurisdiction, so you know what VRBO collected vs. what you still owe

Per property P&L monthly reports that show real profitability

Who this is for: VRBO hosts with 15 properties who are tired of guessing their numbers and want tax-ready books.

Software I use: QuickBooks Online. If you're on spreadsheets, I'll migrate you cleanly.

Send me a message with your property count and platform I'll tell you which package fits
