Do I have to pay federal taxes on my money earned during renting?

Good news! The IRS Federal Tax Code contains a provision that states that homeowners are not required to pay federal income taxes on income generated by renting their primary residence for 14 days or less each year. 

Specific information can be found on the IRS's website: https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc415.html
