Pre-paid rent counted twice

Hello,

My property manager received pre-paid rent for Jan 2024 in Dec. 2023 and reported it with my MISC-1099 for 2023 (i.e. the tenant paid Jan 2024 rent in 2023 which was included with my 2023 MISC-1099). But then, the property manager did NOT reduce the 2024 reported income by the amount that was already reported as income to me in 2023. So the Jan 2024 rent was reported to me twice: once as pre-paid included in the MISC 1099 in 2023 and now again as regular rent with the 2024 MISC 1099. The same thing is happening again, as I already have pre-paid rent for 2025 included in my 2024 MISC-1099.

How do I offset that. My property manager says that it must be reported when it was received, but that should then reduce my income for 2024 - otherwise that amount is counted double.

Any help is appreciated.
