New client received 1099 for a prepaid gas lease. Can I amortize the lump sum payment over how many years? Also, how do you do it in ProSeries?

no, I don't believe so. Pretty much a rule that you pay the tax when you receive the payment,(Cash Basis) unless the client is a business entity which reports on accrual basis.
