Airbnb transaction history: find, download and read it

Where can I find my transaction history on Airbnb?

It sits in the Earnings dashboard, behind two tabs, the same page Airbnb documents on its Find your earnings page:

• Upcoming lists money Airbnb owes you for booked stays that has not been released yet.
• Paid lists money already sent to your payout method, the list that will eventually match a bank statement. In the app the same list is called View all paid.

Select any row and Airbnb opens the detail for that earning: the reservation information, any adjustments and any cancellation details. You can filter the list by date, listing and earnings type, and you can search it with a reservation confirmation code or a payout amount. There is no search by guest name.

The dashboard also has a Performance tab with a Summary view. It totals what you earned per reservation for the year or month you pick, with the service fees, taxes and other deductions broken out and your net total at the bottom. Airbnb's Download your earnings page says the earnings chart covers the previous 6 months, the month in progress, and a projection for the next 5 months from bookings you already hold.

How can I see my Airbnb history on the app?

Open Earnings from the menu and tap View all paid to see the full paid list on your phone. Airbnb documents downloading for desktop only: its steps for the CSV export, the custom report and the PDF report give no app path for any of the three, checked on September 2026, so use a laptop when you need the file itself.

How do I download my Airbnb transaction history?

Get report, on the same Earnings dashboard, produces the download: a CSV spreadsheet. Airbnb's own steps, checked on September 2026, run in this order:

1. Click Today, then Menu, then Earnings.
2. Go to Upcoming or Paid. For anything a bookkeeper will use, pick Paid.
3. Filter listings, payout methods and the date range you want.
4. Click Get report.
5. Select Open on your device or Email your report.
6. Configure your data fields.
7. Click Create report.

Each row of the spreadsheet carries your earnings, the host service fee, the cleaning fee if you charge one, gross earnings and any taxes withheld. Keep the CSV as your working file. The PDF earnings report gives only period totals; the line-by-line detail for finding which booking is off lives in the CSV.

For a full tax year, Airbnb's US tax documents page gives a slightly different route: Paid, then Show all paid, pick the time frame (its example is January 2025 to December 2025), click Apply, then Get report and Create report.

How do I see past Airbnb receipts?

A past receipt lives in the same Paid list: open the reservation, click Details next to Confirmation, then Print from the three-dot menu. Airbnb's page on printing reservation details as a host lays it out in seven steps:

1. Click Today, then Menu, then Earnings.
2. Click Paid and filter by date, listing or earnings type to find the stay.
3. Click to open the reservation.
4. Next to Confirmation, click Details.
5. Click the three dots at the top of the page.
6. Under Manage reservation, click Print.
7. Click Print again to print it or save it as a file.

The receipt shows the guest's name, the dates, the number of guests, the confirmation code and what the guest paid. Keep it for a dispute, and send it when a guest asks for proof of the stay.

How do I get an invoice from Airbnb as a host?

Airbnb issues VAT invoices per reservation for hosts outside the US and Canada, but only in the regions where it generates them, and its VAT invoice page says they are available for the past 6 months only. The path is Today, the reservation, the total price, then VAT invoice, and again the page gives desktop steps only. Airbnb charges that VAT on its own host service fee, and its VAT page says the figure adjusts when a reservation change moves the fee. Where no VAT invoice exists for your country, Airbnb points you to the reservation receipt or the earnings report, both of which break out the VAT charged.

What is the Airbnb earnings summary, and is it a statement of income?

Airbnb built the Earnings Summary to check your Form 1099-K, and it breaks into three parts: Gross Earnings, which corresponds to Box 1a on the form, Airbnb Service Fees, and an Adjustments column. Airbnb never uses the phrase "statement of income" on its help pages. What that phrase points to instead is one of the documents in this table.

Every row comes from Airbnb's Help Center pages on earnings for tax purposes, downloads, tax documents, VAT invoices and the Proof of Income form, checked on September 2026.

What is the difference between transaction history and the Earnings Summary?

Transaction history lists one row per earning. The Earnings Summary totals those rows into the figure your tax form is built on. Airbnb's advice for US hosts is to use the two together to reconcile the 1099-K. The Proof of Income form can show different monthly figures from both, and Airbnb explains why: the Earnings Summary and Transaction History follow a check-in plus one-day payout schedule, while the Proof of Income follows the actual payout date. The form is only open to hosts whose primary residence is in the US, with at least one active listing, and co-hosts cannot request it.

Will I get a 1099-K from Airbnb?

Only if you cross the federal threshold. The IRS confirms the pre-2021 rule is back, so a platform only has to file a 1099-K when your gross reportable payments exceed $20,000 and the number of transactions exceeds 200 in the calendar year. Report the income to the IRS regardless of whether Airbnb sends you a form. Airbnb states that the 1099-K reports Gross Earnings before adjustments such as resolutions, cancellations and Airbnb fees, so it will always read higher than the money you received.

Why does my Airbnb payout not match my transaction history?

Airbnb's own help page says the transaction history follows a check-in plus one-day payout schedule, while the money reaches your bank on the actual payout date, so the two run on different timelines. Three things in Airbnb's own rules push those dates far apart, and in my experience they cause most of the gaps a small property sees.

Sources: Airbnb's pages on payouts for monthly stays, when you will get your payout and what an adjustment means, checked on September 2026.

In practice, a six-week booking that starts in March becomes two payout lines in two different months. You need both months' files side by side to see the whole booking. A payout held for review for the full 45 days can land two calendar months after the stay. An adjustment, which Airbnb defines as money a host owes after a cancellation, a reservation change or a breach of its Guest Refund Policy, comes out of the next scheduled payout automatically, so a refund on a January stay can show up as a smaller February deposit attached to a different guest, with nothing in February's file to say why.

Airbnb's page on calculating your payout lists several more reasons a deposit can differ from the price you set: VAT, currency exchange, routing rules and the Fast Pay fee.

Can I find a payout by the guest's name?

No. Airbnb's earnings search takes the reservation confirmation code or the payout amount, and there is no field for a name. The amount is a weak key as well: Guesty's walkthrough for its own payments product says a payout includes the processed amount from one or more reservations, so one deposit can settle several stays at once. Airbnb's confirmation code page puts the code in the guest's reservation details and the booking confirmation email, and in the transaction detail under Confirmation.

At MINT, our own apartments, a search by name alone returned the wrong booking almost every time, so we match every booking record on its reservation number alone. The FAQ covers why a total that balances is not the same as bookings that are right.

How do I match each payout to its booking?

Match on the confirmation code, one row per payout line, in a single sheet that runs from month to month. I call it a bridge tab, and it needs three columns.

1. Download the Paid list for the month, plus the month before and after. The installments and the held payouts live in the neighboring months.
2. Enter each payout line as its own row. A deposit that settles three stays becomes three rows.
3. Add the confirmation code and your invoice total to each row.
4. Sort by code. A code with payouts and no invoice means that booking was never billed. An invoice with no payout is either unpaid or waiting in next month's file.
5. Keep the tab running. A stay that starts in March can still be settling in May.

The software built for this uses the same key. Guesty's payout reconciliation tool filters by date range, payout ID or reservation confirmation code, and pulls at most 31 days at a time, checked on September 2026. For card payments on your own site, Stripe's payout reconciliation report does the same matching for its deposits, but says that for an instant payout it cannot tell which transactions are included, so that part is yours.

At MINT we built this tab before anything else, after one booking's payments landed in two different monthly exports. Since then we never treat a single month's payout file as proof of what a booking paid. We kept the software we had: easybill still writes every invoice and Stripe still takes the cards on direct bookings. I run an agency, Ekamoira, so I already had a dev team, and they wrote the small link between our property system and easybill so the reservation number travels onto each invoice. You can see how the month comes together in the reconciliation we built for MINT.

What does my accountant need from my Airbnb history each month?

Your accountant needs the transaction history CSV, the earnings report for the month, your bank statement, and the bridge tab that ties them together on the confirmation code.

Your accountant needs gross earnings and the net payout kept separate on this sheet. Gross earnings is what the guest paid; the payout is what is left after Airbnb's fee and any adjustments. Under the single-fee structure Airbnb charges most hosts 15.5%, 14% to 16% for the rest, taken straight out of the payout, and that structure is mandatory for hosts who use property management software. Here is one booking worked through at 15.5%:

Airbnb's fee rates, checked on September 2026; the booking is an illustration.

For the year-end check against the 1099-K, Airbnb's steps are specific. Open the full-year CSV, filter the Earnings Year column to the tax year, then under the Type column uncheck Resolution Adjustment and Payout. The total of the Amount and Host Fee columns should then correspond to Box 1a of your form.

At MINT the gap between Airbnb gross earnings and what was paid out came to about €1,006 on one earlier batch of invoices, before we changed how we cut them. Platform invoices go out on the full gross the guest paid, because the guest is the one Airbnb bills as its customer of record. Ours are written under Austrian rules, so the forms have different names, but the arithmetic is the same one your accountant does.

Lodging tax is the other line your bookkeeper will ask about, because who collects it depends on the channel and the state. We wrote up where occupancy tax appears in a reconciliation separately.

If you would rather not build this yourself

Fullstreak is the direct booking practice at Ekamoira: we build the site that takes the booking, and we wire the property system, the payments and the invoicing so a booking carries one identifier from first inquiry to the deposit in your account. The whole system goes live in about three weeks. We take on properties past roughly $350,000 a year of bookings, because under that the commission we win back does not pay for the work in year one, and I would rather say so than take the fee. Book the call and bring last month's CSV.
