Dear Sir
Rent in your case can be offerred in 2 different years - AY 2013-14 & AY 2014-15 (advance rent cannot be rent received/receivable of the year of receipt - CIT v. Prince Rubber & Plastics [2004] 1 SOT 85 (Asr).).
Further, if TDS has been made from such advance rent, you have to claim TDS in 2 AY, proportionately to the income you offer. (As per Circular No.5/2002, you can make the proportionate claim of TDS for different AYs based on a single certificate. - please confirm this circular with someone as I don't know if its effect has changed in the light of Form 26AS).
