A prepaid expense is the payment for services or goods that will benefit you at a future point in time. When the services or goods that were paid for in advance are utilized, it is at this point that the charge is expensed, or amortized on the income statement. For example, if I paid $1,200 for an insurance policy in Dec of 2011 for coverage over the calendar year 2012, I would have a prepaid expense of $1,200 on my balance sheet as of Dec 31, 2011. I would then amortize $100.00 to the income statement every month (for the coverage being provided to me), until eventually (at the end of the year-2012) the balance in my prepaid account would be zero and I would have amortized the entire $1,200 to the income statement at the rate of $100 per month.
