English translation:Income from defaults/delinquency/breaching
Explanation:
Quebranto in accounting and finance means (debt) defaulting, delinquency (bad debt) or in judicial terms, breaching (a contract) so I guess this is company reveiving income from such (adverse) events... could be a bail bond issuer...in this case maybe a Colombian Afianzadora

Rental property income gets reported on line 17 of your 1040 tax return as taxable income. If you make $10,000 on your rental activities, the Internal Revenue Service requires you to pay your marginal income tax rate on it. If you lose money on a rental, though, your ability to take that loss to offset other gains is more limited, ...

neutral  bigedsenior: Investment, business & rental losses can only be used to offset an equal amount of similar gain, but not always. Soetimes, the losses have to be carried forward and in some cases not allowed at all.

loss of income coverage


Explanation:
Loss-of-Income Insurance. Insurance that covers the interruption of a policyholder's business activities, whether in whole or in part. A policy may cover loss of income from the cessation of business activities due to an act of God, such as a tornado or a hurricane, or a foreseeable incident.

income from bank chages


Explanation:
Finance is not my speciality, hence my low confidence level, but according to a previous kudoz query, it can mean bank charges.

NB: My initial thought was "bankruptcy" (quiebra de empresas), but I don't see how that fits. But then again, I'm not a financial wizard.

Income from reversal of losses


Explanation:
Despite the confidence levels, answers so far fail to convince me. It is clear that the account is related to foreign exchange trading. I can only think that when a loss has been recorded on a foreign currency position an account is debited, but if in a subsequent period the FX position records a gain, this loss can be reversed and would be considered as income.
Perhaps there is no room on the form for "ingreso por quebrantos recuperados" for example.

Reference: Ingresos Quebrantos

Reference information:
Hi, I found an explanatory text from Gestion.org, which may throw some light on this. Not sure how accurate they are but...

It appears that employees handling money and currency conversions receive a special extra part of their salary called 'quebranto de moneda' to cover any possible financial loss they cause to their employer through their own negligence in their work. When this does happen, the employer is able to recover the money from the employee. This then has to be entered in the accounts under this line item. It makes sense because this line item sits alongside the income from currency movements and gains.

Hope this throws some light.
