Unearned income is a liability until it is earned and is listed under liabilities under on the Balance Sheet. The reason it is a liability is because it is money that you have receive but have not yet earned, therefore you as a company "OWES" something. Example: Your company receives and order for $5,000 in watches, but you won't ship the watches until later. You must list the $5,000 as Unearned Income because you have the Income but you haven't earned it and you now have an obligation to the purchaser to either 1. complete the order and ship the watches or 2. refund the purchase price.
