a good example would be rent income that has been received in advance another example would be membership fees etc... thr income received in advance is seen as a liability because it is money that does not correlate to that specific accounting or business year but rather for one that is still to come. the income account will then be credited to the income received in advance account and the income received in advance will be debited to the income account such as rent. When the time period for which the money was received comes, then a reversal takes place which is the same only differing by now debiting the income account to income received in advance account and vice versa.

Debit Cash for the cash received, and credit a liability account you can call Prepaid Rent or Prepaid Deposits. Basically, you credit a liability account because you "owe" them the rent for the month they have paid for in advance. Once the month has passed, you can debit the Prepaid Rent and credit Rental Income. Or, if the prepaid rent is a deposit made, you just keep it on your books as a liability until the end of their lease, at which time they will either be refunded the deposit (debit Prepaid Rent, credit Cash) or if they don't pay their last month's rent you can use the deposit (debit Prepaid Rent, credit Rental Income).
