Airbnb, Turo and the rest report your gross and withhold nothing. The gap between that and what you are actually taxed on is your costs, in New York that gap is worth $2,795 in tax.
Take a driver who grossed $39,000 over 18,000 business miles. After mileage at 74.3 cents and the rest of the stack, worked through on the rental host page $10,100 comes off and $28,900 is left as taxable profit. That profit is what New York and the IRS charge against.

Earning more in New York
A single filer taking the standard deduction, this work as the only income, the calculator above handles the other filing statuses. Miles rise with earnings, so the deduction rises too, and the effective rate on gross climbs more slowly than it would for someone whose income grew without expenses attached:
| Volume | Gross | Mileage off | Taxable profit | New York tax | Total tax | Rate on gross |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Part-time | $13,000 | $0 | $13,000 | $483 | $2,320 | 17.8% |

New York specifics that change the number
New York also has local income tax that the estimate above does not model, new York City (3.876%); yonkers (1.477% resident, 0.50% non-resident). Add it separately for where you live and work.
New York runs a state disability insurance program: varies. NY DBL (statutory disability) mandatory for employees. SE not required.
Local taxes on a New York let
The income tax below is only part of it. Short-term lets attract occupancy, lodging or transient taxes levied by the city or county rather than New York, often at rates that dwarf the state income tax. Some platforms collect and remit them; some collect only part; in some places the host is on the hook entirely. That is a local question this calculator cannot answer, and it is the one hosts most often get wrong.

Rental host tax questions in New York
How much should a New York host set aside?
About 15.6% of gross on the $39,000 example, $6,091 across self-employment tax, federal income tax and $1,147 to New York. Set aside from each payout rather than finding it in April.
Does the $39,000 on my 1099-NEC match what New York taxes?
No. New York taxes profit, not gross. After $10,100 of deductions the taxable figure is $28,900, so the New York bill is $1,147 rather than what gross alone would suggest.
