RE: Dumpster diving? (was B20)

Well not here in Indiana. There was some requirement that called for this
asset to be gone by the end of the month (a few months back). Otherwise we
would be taxed for the amount.

It's been a while, but I don't know of any accounting requirement to keep
assets around until they're fully depreciated.  Upon disposal, the carrying
cost is compared to any amount received in exchange for the asset and the
difference is a gain or loss on disposal.  Charitable contributions are more
complex, of course.

But was it fully depreciated ? If not it would still be on the books as an
asset. That's the problem we ran into and had to get rid of ours by a
certain date...
