FAQ
An installment contract is a single contract that is completed by a series of performances –such as payments, performances of a service, or delivery of goods–rather than being performed all at one time.
Generally, receivables are divided into three types: trade accounts receivable, notes receivable, and other accounts receivable.
The long-term installment receivable is a current asset, not a non-current asset. Businesses that offer installment sales recognize those installment receivables as current assets as it is expected to be settled by the customers within one year or within the normal operating cycle of the business.
An installment sale is a sale of property where you receive at least one payment after the tax year of the sale. If you realize a gain on an installment sale, you may be able to report part of your gain when you receive each payment. This method of reporting gain is called the installment method.
In an installment sale, the seller takes a note receivable for deferred payments from the buyer. The seller then recognizes taxable gain as installment payments of note receivable principal amounts are received, in proportion to the principal payments.
