Q: I stayed in an extended stay hotel in Alabama for 9 months. After 6 months, the Taxes I paid were refunded to me
I stayed in an extended stay hotel in Alabama for 9 months. After 6 months, the Taxes I paid were refunded to me. Great deal. Then I moved to Florida for 2 months. I'm now moving back to Alabama to the same hotel I stayed in before. My question is, do my 6 months start over, and then after 6 consecutive months staying there, I'll get the taxes back again, correct?
A:
When you move back to the extended stay hotel in Alabama, your six-month period will start over. The tax refund policy you experienced previously will reset because your stay was interrupted by your two-month move to Florida.
This means you will need to stay another consecutive six months in the hotel to qualify for the tax refund again. Your previous stay does not carry over or combine with your upcoming stay to meet the six-month requirement.
Ensure you check with the hotel and local tax regulations to confirm the specifics, as policies can sometimes vary or be updated. Staying informed will help you take full advantage of the tax refund opportunity.
