The journal entry for prepaid income is a debit to the Cash account and a credit to the Unearned Revenue account. The Unearned Revenue account is a liability. The rationale for such an entry is that this is income received in advance. This means that the income has not been earned since the services have not yet been performed. When the services have been performed it is appropriate to recognize the revenue and offset the liability account, unearned revenue.
