StayTally: Rental Finances

StayTally helps short-term rental (STR) hosts, vacation-rental owners and landlords organize rental finances, track income and expenses, and prepare records for tax time. Keep bookings, receipts, reimbursements and reports together—whether you rent an entire property or part of your home.

RECEIPTS, EXPENSES AND REIMBURSEMENTS • Organize supplies, repairs, maintenance and other rental costs. • Select rental-related items from a mixed receipt. • Calculate rental-share amounts using your rental listing settings. • Keep supporting documents connected to their records. • Flag eligible costs for reimbursement and track unpaid amounts. MULTIPLE RENTAL LISTINGS AND SHARED COSTS • Organize records by rental listing or rental group. • Set up partial-home rentals and shared-building groups. • Use total property and rental floor areas to configure supported cost-sharing methods. • Keep rental and personal portions organized when splitting shared costs. DASHBOARDS AND FINANCIAL REPORTS • View recorded income, costs and rental-share totals on customizable dashboards. • Track booked nights and compare recorded results. • Compare supported annual platform reports with your recorded earnings. • Review missing details and differences before exporting. TAX PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTANT REPORTING • Organize yearly rental income and categorized expenses for accountant review. • Keep mortgage interest, property tax and insurance amounts organized, with missing or provisional figures identified. • Export an accountant-preparation bundle with an Excel workbook, detailed records and selected supporting documents. • Review Schedule E preparation tables that cross-reference 2025 Schedule E Part I categories and line references. Confirm the form and rules for your selected tax year with your accountant. StayTally provides bookkeeping and tax-preparation records. It does not file tax returns, determine whether your activity belongs on Schedule E or Schedule C, calculate every deduction, or replace professional tax advice. Your accountant must confirm activity classification, depreciation, personal use and applicable limits. Always review extracted details and report totals.
