Short answer

Add income four ways: connect Hospitable to import completed Airbnb stays, enter annual platform totals, add individual bookings, or import an Airbnb or Vrbo CSV. Hospitable is available for Pro and trial accounts through Settings → Integrations. Reports and exports require paid Pro.

Already use Hospitable? Connect your account and match your listings to DeductFlow properties to bring completed Airbnb stays into your income records. You can also use totals, individual entries, or CSV imports. Choose a workflow for each source and period, and review existing records before combining methods so you do not count the same income twice.

Method 1: Platform annual totals Fastest · 2 minutes

This is all your profit and loss actually needs. One number per platform.

  1. Click the Income icon in the left rail to open the Income page.
  2. Find the Income by Platform card near the top.
  3. Type your annual total into the box for each platform you used (Airbnb, Vrbo, and any direct bookings).
  4. Click Save Platform Income. Your dashboard and P&L update immediately.

You can grab these totals from your Airbnb or Vrbo year-end earnings summary. If you also want to keep the PDF report, you can upload it on the same card.

Method 2: Individual booking entries

Use this when you want line-item detail, for example to see income booking by booking or to match specific deposits.

  1. Open the Income page.
  2. Click Add Income.
  3. Enter the date, platform, and amount for the booking, then save.
  4. Repeat for each booking you want to record. Each entry rolls up into your P&L automatically.

Method 3: Import your Airbnb or Vrbo CSV

The fastest way to bring in every booking at once without typing them.

  1. Open the Income page and click Import CSV.
  2. Choose the platform (Airbnb or Vrbo).
  3. Upload the earnings CSV you exported from that platform.
  4. Review the parsed rows and confirm. Every booking is added in seconds.

For a walk-through of exporting the earnings file from each platform, see the full guide to importing income from Airbnb and Vrbo.

Method 4: Connect Hospitable

Bring completed Airbnb stays into DeductFlow without retyping each booking. Available for Pro and trial accounts.

  1. Open Settings → Integrations and connect your Hospitable account.
  2. Match your Hospitable listings to the correct DeductFlow properties.
  3. Review the imported income records and any items that need attention.

The integration creates income records for completed Airbnb stays, dated at checkout, and tracks the host service fee separately as an expense. Direct and other-channel bookings still need another entry method. DeductFlow reads your Hospitable data; it does not change your Hospitable account.

What adding income unlocks

Recording income alongside expenses gives you a clearer view of each property’s financial activity. Review your records for completeness before sharing them with your tax professional. Reports and exports require paid Pro and are not included in the trial.

Frequently asked questions

How do I add income to DeductFlow?

Use one of four methods: connect Hospitable for completed Airbnb stays, enter annual platform totals, add individual bookings, or import an Airbnb or Vrbo CSV. Connect Hospitable in Settings → Integrations; the other methods are on the Income page.

Can I enter just my annual Airbnb total?

Yes. A single annual total per platform is all your profit and loss needs. Type your Airbnb total into the Income by Platform card and click Save Platform Income. You do not have to log every booking unless you want the line-item detail.

Does DeductFlow import Airbnb income automatically?

Yes, through the Hospitable integration for Pro and trial accounts. Connect Hospitable and match your listings to import completed Airbnb stays. This is not a direct Airbnb account connection; direct and other-channel bookings still need another entry method.
