What journal to record a bad debt?

A bad debt is typically recorded in a journal called the "Bad Debts Expense" journal or directly in the general journal. When a specific account is deemed uncollectible, the entry involves debiting the Bad Debts Expense account and crediting the Accounts Receivable account associated with the bad debt. This reflects the loss in income and reduces the total receivables on the balance sheet.
