Personal Taxes

Do you have to file taxes for rental income from a Time Share

I have a timeshare and was asked by the company if I'm interested in renting my vacation weeks. I would make $6000 or $9000 depending upon how many weeks I rent out. At present, I don't file taxes because I have supplemental income. My question is: Do I have to file taxes because I have to claim this money as income?

Education

Tax deduction for foreign University with no EIN number

My daughter is attending a University in the United Kingdom at a school that does participate in the U.S. FAFSA program. The school does not have a U.S. EIN number and for the 2022 tax year the IRS is saying they will not allow any tax deductions for education expenses because there is no EIN number. Is this correct? For tax years 2020 and 2021 she attended the same school and the IRS allowed the deduction without an EIN number. Did something change for 2022?
