Hello,

I collect and remit my own taxes from AirBnb that total 12.75%. In the past I only collected 3% from AirBnb, but when I connected to them via API it made me collect the whole 12.75%. I just got an email from AirBnb that stated they are going to start collecting state and local taxes on my behalf and that I need to change this on their platform. My question is if we are API connected are we still collecting the whole 12.75%?

That is a question that can only be addressed via a Helpdesk ticket, because the various possibilities are nearly endless due to there being so many different tax jurisdictions and so many different ways Airbnb deals with them. Write in and we'll take a look.
