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 rights do you have with the first and last months' rent?
The regulations regarding all monies paid by a tenant in advance to a landlord varies greatly by state and local municipalities. In California, specifically Los Angeles county where I live, a landlord is prohibited from requiring advance payment of rent and must call it 'security deposit'. Here, a rule, effective as of 1990 (but in a moratorium as of this year!), mandates payment of interest on any and all monies held more than 12 months. And, in researching rental rights for landlord and for tenant, I have come across many variants regarding advance and deposit payments that one would need to know your location for a definitive answer!

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.

Is unearned rent closed on a income summary at the end of a fiscal year?
Unearned Rent is rent paid in advance to one company/person from another. Unearned Rent is a liability until it is earned. Unearned rent is "not" closed on an income summary at the end of the fiscal year. Unearned rent is never actually "closed" but actually brought down to a zero balance account.For example, your company was paid rent for December 2010, and January and February 2011 in the amount of say $15,000 and on December 31, 2010 your fiscal year ends and you are closing your books and the December rent paid to you expires (is used up for December) your entry will be a debit to unearned rent for $5,000 and a credit to Rent Revenue for $5,000. This still leaves a balance of $10,000 in unearned rent for the following year (Jan. and Feb.)Let's look at another scenario, say you charge $3,000 a month for rent and your company is paid for the full year (Jan.-Dec.) Your first entry to record such a payment is a debit to cash $36,000 and a credit to unearned rent $36,000As each month expires you remove the amounts in increments of $3,000 until the account balance in unearned rent is zero, then at the end of the accounting period, rent revenue is closed to the income summary, not unearned rent.
