As a general rule, advance rent is considered taxable income to you in the year you receive it from the tenant. This is true even if the advance payment isn't mentioned in the lease agreement.

For example, if in December 2010 your tenant pays the first six months of 2011's rent, you must report the advance payment as income on your 2010 return.

What are examples of income received in advance?

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.
