You received rental income even though you weren't renting during the year. Technically, if you rent a house for less than 15 days during the year, you don't need to report the rent so you could use that as an excuse to not report it if the amount is minimal. Otherwise, you can list a few days of rent, as that is mostly used to determine what deductions are allowable, so you would get the correct taxable income in your case. You wouldn't report the income in prior years as it was received in 2023, so you don't have to amend returns.
