Tax Question

[Lyndsey Keller]

First timer question:

In 2013, we went back and forth between trying to sell and thinking of renting out a property. In December 2013 we decided to officially rent it out. A deposit was paid on the property mid December, but first month's rent wasn't paid until occupants moved in on January 1, 2014. Question is, can we/should we claim this as rental property in 2013? I technically received the deposit then, but they weren't living there yet. Do I just add this to our 2014 tax info for next year?
