For short-term and dual-use portfolios

The personal-use day counter your Airbnb tool doesn't have.

Channel managers3 run your bookings. They don't track the personal-use days the IRS cares about. They don't surface a draft tax-form view from your booking data. Keystone IQ does — alongside per-night metrics like ADR and RevPAR, and the long-term rentals you already own.

Also have long-terms? They live in the same ledger.

Per-property toggle: long-term, short-term, or mixed-use. The dashboard aggregates both. The tax export drafts entries for the appropriate tax form per property, with mortgage interest split correctly.2 One ledger, both rental types.

What's in the short-term feature set

Six things no channel manager surfaces.

Channel managers3 handle guest messaging and dynamic pricing. We do the financial half of the stack — the ledger, the property-level metrics, the personal-use day tracker, the year-end tax-export drafts.2

Personal-use awareness

A personal-use day tracker that flags the IRS limit

Stay at your own short-term property too many nights and the IRS can limit what you deduct. We track personal-use days and surface a heads-up as you approach the threshold so you can plan ahead with your CPA. Final tax treatment is always determined by a qualified tax professional.2

Tax-form preview

A draft tax-form view per property

Short-term rentals can land on different tax forms depending on how they're operated. From your average length of stay and the level of guest services you indicate, we surface a starting-point view to discuss with your accountant. Treat this as a conversation-starter, not a tax filing.2

Per-night metrics

Per-night metrics alongside long-term ones

Same dashboard your long-term properties live on. Average Daily Rate (ADR), Revenue Per Available Night (RevPAR), Occupancy %, and Average Length of Stay (ALOS), per property and rolled up to the portfolio. Personal-use nights subtract from the Occupancy denominator automatically.

Booking import

Drop in your Airbnb CSV

Each stay becomes a reservation row with gross, cleaning fee, platform fee, and host payout. The ledger entries get written per booking. Direct bookings (Owner Reservations, off-platform stays) can be entered manually.

Short-term expense categories

Categories built for short-term operations

Built-in categories for spend specific to short-term properties: Linens, Guest Amenities, Dynamic Pricing Software, Channel Manager, Pool/Spa, Occupancy Tax Liability. Available in the Add Entry dropdown and matched by the AI bank-transaction classifier.

Tax-ready entries

Year-end export drafts the entries your CPA expects

The export drafts line-item entries (gross receipts, expenses, mortgage interest, occupancy tax) you can hand to your accountant — for both long-term and short-term properties. Final filing decisions remain with your tax professional.2

  • ✓“Lake House has logged 11 personal-use days this year — worth checking in with your CPA before booking more personal stays.”2
  • ✓“Mountain Cabin ADR dropped from $312 to $241 over the last 30 days. Worth a dynamic-pricing review.”
  • ✓“Cabin ALOS is 5.8 nights with substantial guest services flagged. Worth confirming the tax-form treatment with your CPA.”2
  • ✓“Cleaning vendor Spotless Pros charged $410 on Stay #247 — 2.8× their normal rate for this property. Review before paying.”
