Deposits and tax info

[Skysue]

Hey ladies just curious if you claim deposits for the last 2 weeks of care in the year received or do you accrue it to the year it's used?

I claim mine the year it is received and include it with their annual receipt. I figure the parents will probably claim it that year too because they have put it out of the pocket/bank already.

I accrue it to year it is used - it sits in their account as a credit and in my savings untouched until I need the income when they leave and if they give me enough notice I can save for them leaving I leave it there for rainy day ;)

I write the receipt when I receive the money and give it to the parents with a notation at the bottom whether it is refundable or not depending on the circumstances. Then I claim the income and give them the tax deduction for the year it is received that way. It may technically be applied to the last week of care a few years later, but this is simpler for me.
