The security deposit you receive from your tenant is reported as income at the time you decide to keep all or part of the deposit because your tenant did not live up to the terms of the lease. For example, if you used part of the deposit as a cleaning fee or to replace a broken fixture, that amount is considered to be income to you. If all or part of the security deposit is eventually used as payment for the 3 final month’s rent, it is included as income when the payment is applied towards the rent. If the security deposit is returned to the tenant, do not include it as income.
