The deferment method establishes that an advance payment be included in the gross income in the fiscal year of receipt to the extent recognized in the applicable financial statement of the taxpayer for that fiscal year or earned (for those taxpayers without an applicable financial statement) in that fiscal year, and the rest of the advance is included in the next following fiscal year (the fiscal year after the fiscal year in which the payment is received).
