Reduce your excess inventory
and save on taxes

Do you have left over, odd parts from prior jobs which you are unlikely to use in the future? Besides liquidating at a lower rate or throwing away overstock inventory for a loss you also have the option of deducting it as a charitable contribution.

For regular C corporations you may deduct the cost of the goods plus half the difference between cost and fair market value. Your deduction could be up to twice cost. S corporations, partnerships and sole proprietorships earn a straight cost deduction. Read More


Keeping an eye on Plumbers in Lewiston, NY.

Picture of PlumberPlumbers may soon need a license and insurance to practice their craft in the Town of Lewiston, NY. After a public hearing this March 24th there will be a Town Board meeting, where a new plumbing board is expected to be approved.

During a recent Town Board meeting, Councilman Sean Edwards, a member of the local plumbing union had this to say, “If the proposal passes plumbers will be required to pay a $250 license fee, and may even be given a card with photo identification.”

At which point, Supervisor Fred M. Newlin took a little jab, saying that “Lewiston is going to have to get some better-looking plumbers.”

When after Councilman Alfonso J. Bax suggested the photo should have “a picture of the other end, since that’s the only end of a plumber you ever see.”

Edwards smiled and laughed. “I’m sitting here with a police chief, a realtor and a lawyer,” he said, “but I still work with my hands and I’m proud of it.”
