Hello there, @mail37.

 

Let me share information with you on how to write off bad debt in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

You may want to record a bad debt expense when a receivable is no longer collectable.

 

Here's how:

  1. Check your ageing accounts receivable.
  2. Create a bad debt expense account.
  3. Create a bad debt item.
  4. Create a credit note for the bad debt.
  5. Apply the credit note to the invoice to close it off.
  6. Run a bad debts report.

For more detailed information about this process, see this article: Write off bad debt in QuickBooks Online.
