You don't. It's a prior period adjustment which isn't on the income statement. It's adjusted to the beginning 2009 balance of retained earnings. That way, retained earnings is corrected from 2008 as it should be, and an adjusted retained earnings starts off the year. That leaves the income statement for only the current year as usual.
