I intended to have a service done today that had to be postponed. My actual charge for services today was appx $180. I shouldn't have used the term deposit. No deposit was required.
I simply decided to go ahead and give them the $2000, which will go towards the total amount owed after the procedure on Jan. 17.
It's currently listed as a credit balance on my account. Since the expense has not yet been incurred, it's simply a credit balance on my account.
I could have the cash refunded and pay the bill with a credit card once it becomes due. With this in mind, I think I am fine claiming it in 2023.
If I'm overlooking something, feel free to let me know. Thanks for the responses. Enjoy upcoming Christmas weekend!
