What is the appropriate tax information to input when creating a credit memo for bad debt?

Hi Markrich. Since 'Bad Debt' requires reversing sales tax and updating your income reports, the process is more intricate than a typical refund.

 

I recommend consulting an accountant to ensure your sales tax payable is adjusted correctly and that the loss is recorded in the right expense account. This keeps your books audit-ready and ensures you aren't paying taxes on income you never actually received.
