Can my tax preparer use it?
Invite them free. They see the same profit and loss and ledger you do (and the reconciled balance sheet on Full Books), and can export CSV for their software.

Not if you upload the Airbnb transaction history export alongside your bank statement. Gross bookings, host fees and payouts are recorded separately.
