This feature is AWESOME!

The only problem I have is that Airbnb collects and remits city tax in certain areas. So if the reservation is made on VRBO or directly on my website, I have to collect and remit 10.725%. But if the reservation is made on Airbnb I have to collect and remit only 6.375% (Airbnb remits the rest). Since the report doesn't know which tax rate to use it makes the calculations wrong.

It would be great if there was a way to select the correct tax rate under the Taxes Section, before clicking on the Import button.

Thank you!

That's a good point! We'll add a listing site criteria on taxes so you can disable the city tax for Airbnb.
