Why might I be paying taxes on “prepaid” rent for the current calendar year?

Mynd acts as an agent on behalf of the owner. “Prepaid” rent is received in a current month and later applied to a future month. By law, Mynd is required to report all income received by December 31, 2023 as income for that calendar year. When income is received in the operating account on behalf of the owner prior to midnight on January 1 of the new year, Mynd has to report it as income for the prior year.

In addition, the “40010.000 Rent” includes January 2023 rent if it was paid on or before December 31, 2022. The year-end statement will deduct this amount because the prepaid rent from December 31, 2023 was already included in 2023’s 1099-MISC.
