Our school's annual fundraiser involves the purchase of glowlights for sale at the event.
Usually there is a small quantity of glowlights left over. Can these be written off as a loss and then subsequently sold off at reduced prices at school discos?
Funds are processed through the school's PTA.

If a job was done for a client, but the client is not billed because the job was bad due to our fault, it would not be considered a Bad Debt because client does not owe anything, correct?
So, for tax purposes is it just an general expense? Is there a special way it should be written off?

I have been asked to write off refund checks from a list of checks to be mailed prior to their being cashed.
There is no canceled check but a check number for a check to be sent. I am not comfortable. Any resource info available.
At the same time, they want me to write of over payments and unpaid items in a batch to equal the same amount. Any resource info on this?

We provide services and parts for customers. Sometimes we have to do re-work and use parts that we can't charge the customer for. Can we write off the labor and parts? If so, do we write off what we would charge the customer or only the cost (excluding markup) of the parts used? Also, what account would this write off go to? Thank you!

When I took over bookkeeping, I signed off on $150 Petty Cash. However, there is $200 listed on the Balance Sheet for Petty Cash. Before I noticed this, I found $124 in change, in a file drawer that I deposited into the Operating Account as Anonymous donation. $50 of that may have been Petty Cash. How do I correct the $50?

I have three creditors where the debt I owe has been dormant for more than 2 years. The creditors have written off the debt in their books - what entries do I need to clear the amount I owe in my books?

I have an "other current asset account" that was set up as "prepaid expense deposits".
There is a balance in this account of over 10K which dates back over 5 years that consists of deposits paid to vendors.
I know that there is no chance of getting our deposits back from these vendors so what would the journal entry be to write them off so that it decreases the balance in the current asset account?
