written off invoices

[kevenwatt]

if I have an invoice dated Jan 1, 2008 and write it off Sept 30, 2010 does the write off show up in the 2008 fiscal year end or should it show up in the 2010 year end?  What reports can I print to verify this as my accountant needs proof that we are not writing off the invoice twice

You can specify the date written off on the invoice record. If 'claim tax back' is set to 'no', it has no effect on any reports (it just no longer shows up as unpaid and is moved to the bottom of the list and crossed out). If 'claim tax back' is set to 'yes' AND your tax summary report has 'Include Unpaid Invoices' set to 'yes', it will appear on the tax summary report if the date written off is in the selected date range (there is a whole separate section of the report showing written off invoices). If 'Include Unpaid Invoices' is set to 'no', it does not appear on the tax summary report at all, as it never would have been included in the first place.
