A security deposit receipt is a document that confirms the landlord has received the security deposit and provides details on the bank it's held at. Depending on your state, you'll need to provide tenants with a security deposit receipt within a certain timeframe so they're informed on where their payment is held.
Since a refundable deposit is cash that must be returned to the customer in the future, the company should debit restricted cash and credit the customer deposit liability account. When the deposit is returned to the customer, the customer deposit liability account is debited, and restricted cash is credited.
The Cash Receipt Electronic Deposit (C1) document records all monies collected and deposited directly to the bank electronically.
Because security deposits are generally not considered rental income, they should not appear on your income statement or cash flow statement. Instead, include it as a liability on your balance sheet on the date you received it, since it's an amount you're planning to eventually return.
If your security deposit should be included in taxable income, then you can record the receipt of a security deposit as Rental Income with a note in the description. However, if the security deposit is refundable to the tenant, then you should create a separate Other Current Liability account to track the deposits.
