If I gave income back (due to a customer duplicate payment), but not until the following year, do I enter it in the year I reported the income, or wait and enter it the following year?
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
Assuming you are on a cash basis you report income in the year received and expenses in the year paid.
I don't think it is income and would not include that or the repayment anywhere.
The money never belonged to you. Just like a refundable deposit, it does not count as taxable income until it 'belongs' to you.
