An S-corp property management company paid a legal bill in December 2006 on behalf of a client. Client wrote and mailed the reimbursement check to S Corp on 30 December. S-crop received and deposited the check in its bank in January 2007.

How sould the S-Corp handle this transaction on Tax Return? Does the S-Corp have to show the expense in 2006 and income in 2007?

Thank you in advance.

A taxpayer may not claim a deduction for an expense incurred for the benefit of another taxpayer.

Agreed. Amount paid on behalf of client would be a balance sheet item (ie, Accounts Receivable).
