To write off unpaid bills in QuickBooks Online, you can follow these steps…

1. Review Outstanding Bills – First, review your list of outstanding bills in QuickBooks Online to identify the bills you want to write off. Go to the “Expenses” or “Vendors” menu and select “Pay Bills” or “Vendor Center” to view the list of bills.
2. Select the Bill to Write Off – Identify the unpaid bill that you want to write off as uncollectible. Click on the bill to open it and review the details.
3. Create a Credit Memo – To write off the unpaid bill, you’ll need to create a credit memo. Click on the “Create” button at the top of the screen and select “Credit Memo” from the dropdown menu.
4. Enter Vendor Information – In the credit memo form, enter the vendor information, including the vendor name and any other relevant details.
5. Enter Details of the Write-Off – In the “Product/Service” column, select the appropriate account or expense category to which you want to allocate the write-off amount. Enter the amount of the unpaid bill as a negative value in the “Amount” column.
6. Save the Credit Memo – Once you’ve entered all the necessary details, click the “Save” or “Save and Close” button to save the credit memo.
7. Apply the Credit Memo to the Bill – After saving the credit memo, go back to the list of outstanding bills. Find the unpaid bill you wrote off and apply the credit memo to it. You can do this by clicking on the bill to open it and selecting the credit memo you created from the “Apply Credits” section.
8. Review and Finalize – Review the bill to ensure that the credit memo has been applied correctly and that the bill balance has been adjusted accordingly. Once you’re satisfied, you can mark the bill as paid or leave it as unpaid, depending on your preference.

By following these steps, you can write off unpaid bills in QuickBooks Online and adjust your accounts accordingly. It’s a good practice to periodically review and write off uncollectible bills to keep your books accurate and up to date.
