    Allowance dr
    TO irrecoverable cr
    IS IT CORRECT?

    You can do that if you want.

    However, as I show in my example in the free lecture, it is easier to make no entry and just to not include the specific allowance in the calculation of the allowance required at the end of the year. The end result will be exactly the same.
