Do you close out allowance for doubtful accounts at end of year?

Allowance for doubtful accounts is a contra-asset account, but it relates for bad-debt expense. When increasing bad debt expense, you credit ADA and debit BDE. Allowance for doubtful accounts is just estimating how much you will need for these accounts, and bad debt expense is saying "see, i knew this would go bad" then you credit ADA. Bad debt expense does need to be closed out though! So... Debit ADA Credit Accounts receivable (This is when expenses are written off) then Debit BDE Credit ADA Bad debt expense needs to be closed out, by crediting expenses and then debiting Retained Earnings.

How do you get accounts that have been closed for a long time removed from your credit report?

You get closed accounts removed from your credit report in the same manner as any other information. You write a letter of dispute to the creditor, or credit bureau, or both. The question is; why do you want closed accounts removed from your credit? If these accounts were paid as agreed, their appearance on your credit report is still offsetting any other information that appears there. I have clients with closed, 6-10 year old, accounts and active derogatory accounts that still have viable credit scores. Were they to challenge and have removed the closed accounts, they would have no score at all, which can be worse than having a low score. Keep in mind that your credit report, and the resulting credit score, is a history of how you have paid your bills in the last 7 to 10 years. You do not necessarily want that history to be empty.
