How do you reduce allowance for doubtful accounts at year end if there is no balance in uncollectible accounts expense?
To reduce the allowance for doubtful accounts at year-end with no balance in uncollectible accounts expense, you can adjust the allowance account directly by making a journal entry that decreases the allowance. This can be done by debiting the allowance for doubtful accounts and crediting a relevant income account, reflecting the reduction in the estimated uncollectible accounts. It's essential to ensure that the adjustment is justified by reviewing accounts receivable and confirming that the risk of default is lower than previously estimated. Always document the rationale for this adjustment thoroughly for audit purposes.
