Do you pay tax on hosting students?
Do you pay tax on hosting students? Do I have to declare it on my tax return? Yes, the profit from student hosting must be declared in box 2 of your tax return.
What does a host family have to provide?
Host families are responsible for providing their exchange student with their meals, transportation and a clean and safe living environment. At first, it may feel awkward trying to balance treating your student as a member of the family, while also expecting them to pay for their own personal expenses.
Are host families safe?
Many students report they feel much safer living with a host family, especially in more rural or off-the-beaten path locations. Host families are able to tell you which areas to avoid or go out with you to places where you might be a target on your own.
Are foreign exchange students allowed to have sleepovers?
Sleepovers at the host family of another AFSer must be approved by both his/her own host family and the host family who receives the visit. A permission from AFS must be applied for in advance, in case the visit is outside the local chapter.
