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.
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.)

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

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

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

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
