So 1500 is security deposit so after subtracting it from the rent now rent is $ 8000 for 8 months which means $1000 per month. So the months left for current year are 5 means from August to December. so the rent for 5 months is $5000. Brad and kate will report $5000 as rental income in the current tax year.
