The date you cash it doesn't make any difference. I believe, and here I may be wrong because I don't have my Sylvia Porter at the office, that even if you ask for payment to be deferred to the new year from an employer or client, and you have control over when the payment is to be made, that the IRS can nail you for income in the current year.
