Under this rule, IRS 14 Day Rental  you don't pay tax on income you earn from the short-term rental, as long as you rent the property for no more than 14 days during the year.

14/60 ths can be allocated out of the deposit at no tax for 2019.

 

Since the money you received was a deposit, and not really yours yet, it will be allocated to 2020 provided they complete the rental activity.
