Answer #1

Under the cash method, you generally report income in the tax year you receive it, and deduct expenses in the tax year in which you pay the expenses.

Under the accrual method, you generally report income in the tax year you earn it, regardless of when payment is received. You deduct expenses in the tax year you incur them, regardless of when payment is made.

So taking above in consideration we can amount of deduction for RX Corporation for

1. Prepaid Rent Year 2020 Year 2021

Under Cash Mehod $ 36000 ------

Under accrual ------- $36000

2.Prepaid Premium Year 2020 Year 2021
