It depends.
If you are a cash basis taxpayer you report income on your return in the year you actually or constructively receive it, regardless of when it was earned. You report your expenses when you pay them, not when you incur them.
If are on an accrual basis, you report income when you earn it, rather than when you receive it. You deduct your expenses when you incur them rather than when you pay them.
