It’s been awhile since my last post, sorry about that. We haven’t gotten nearly as much accomplished as I’d hoped recently. We’ve been getting eaten up by the channels. Airbnb has been a particular thorn in our side. That has taken lots of bandwidth, however it appears some progress is being made and things have settled down a little this week, which gave us time to squeak in a small time saver for our property management clients.
1099 report
There is a new option within the Owner Statement report that will allow a summary 1099 report to be generated.
- Choose the period.
- Select all owners (individual owners aren’t eligible as this is a summary report).
- Choose PDf or excel.
- Landscape or Portrait mode (landscape is best).
- Select IRS 1099
- Download
Depending on the number of properties and reservations, the report generation might take a few minutes.
In the future, we will probably try to connect this to some service that will both pay owners and generate and file a 1099 for each owner. Wouldn’t that be nice!
TripAdvisor Integration Update
We did switch over to the new rates and availability api from TripAdvisor last week. There were a few hiccups but they have since been resolved. We are now actively coding to their updated content and reservation APIs. Once complete the TripAdvisor integration should be very similar to our other integrations and allow reservations made on TripAdvisor to be pushed into Lodgix. iCal will no longer have to be used for calendar updating with TripAdvisor – hooray!
Hoping to have that complete in the next 10 days or so.
