The 1099misc overstates my rental income for 2015 because it includes the deposit and also payment for January 2016. How much should I report?

No, you enter the information as it appears on the 1099-MISC. When you enter your business expenses in the Rental Income & Royalty section, there is a section where you can type in specific expenses. The type in the section is where you will enter the security deposit. This will offset the 1099-MISC income.

A security deposit is not income for the
landlord. It belongs to the tenant and must be returned to the tenant,
unless there is a basis to deduct from the deposit pursuant to Civil
Code section 1950.5.
