AirBnb Income Tax on Primary Residence

[ddavey]

I recently started hosting my backyard carriage house through AirBnb. I am new to rental income and don't want to forfeit my primary residence exemption on capital gains. What would be wisest to claim as expenses (if anything) and what should I avoid claiming? Is there anything significant I should know prior to filing my taxes on this?

In the eyes of the CRA, any income earned by renting out your home or other property is considered to be rental income – even if it’s just for a night or two, every once in a while.  

Here is what you should know about Airbnb prior to filing your taxes.
