Short Term vs. Long Term. The determining factor of short- and long-term notes receivable is time. Short-term notes are notes due within 12 months or less. If the note is due in more than a year, it's a long-term note. Short-term notes receivable are considered a current asset. As such, they're included in the balance sheet under the current asset category. Long term notes are presented on the balance sheet along with other non-current assets.
