That’s the problem with being a nice guy, Oldbot. I doubt Dr. Mel would be dithering if the asset in question was Killbot.

If you’ve been taking depreciation every year, he’s fully depreciated by now. So neither deduction nor business loss. See section 1250 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.

There could be some precious metals in Oldbot.

And/Or … “Give him an upgrade.” or “Use him for spare parts.”

Time for Oldbot to turn Killbot.

You can use him as a deduction every year. As a business loss, you con only use him one.

Creator’s little tax deduction.

He leaks oil probably. Should be worth something

He could always sell him for a huge profit as a collectible item or an antique – but then he’d have to declare a capital gain. (I’m assuming the sale price would be higher than his original cost.)

Auction him on eBay! Those Guys will by anything.

We need a Punnett square to factor in scrap or flea market.

Now, that is just plain cold.

What does it mean that a mad scientists is doing his taxes before I am?

Melt him down. upload his brain into a new robot or at least a Chromebook. Even that would be an upgrade.

(so says this satisfied ancient Chromebook user)

It’s a good thing Pam doesn’t think like that.

Deduction? I would imagine he’s fully depreciated by now. Watch out, Oldbot…

Too late Doctor Mel, anything you do now will affect next years taxes…but if you need extra cash to pay this years taxes Oldbot maybe recycler bound
