Straight Forward Income Tax Question

[HankReardon]

I wonder someone can put me straight.

I invoice someone for work done last year, last year. I receive payment this year. Does this income get taxed in my 2008 year or 2009?

Thank you.

2008. Money owed on this invoice will be showed as a debtor in your 2008 accounts.

I was thinking as much. Wishful thinking had it in 2009. Thanks Clarkey.
