My mom and I rented out a spare bedroom through Airbnb in a home we reside in and is owned by my aunt (essentially a sublet). The Airbnb account was in my name and I received all earnings. The cost of utilities (water, heating, electricity) is included with our rent and all property expenses are covered by my aunt. I am responsible for internet/TV costs.
Because I am not a homeowner in this case, how would I make sure that I properly report my earnings from Airbnb on my income tax return? Would I have to fill out the T776 rental income form as a non-homeowner or could I just claim the earnings as Other Income? I simply just want to declare my earnings and finally be able to submit my return.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide me with some answers.
