There are 3 ways:
The organic chemist would write CH3COOH. That way when the COOH is seen the chemist knows it is an organic acid.
The inorganic chemist would write HCH3COO. That way when the H in the beginning is seen the chemist knows it is an acid (either traditional or Bronsted-Lowry).
If you don't care what category the compound is in you can write the condensed form, C2H4O2. You don't see this too often, though.
