Taxpayers may deduct either worthless debts charged off or a reserve for bad debts. The 1921 method must continue unless permission is granted to switch, with changes allowed only after filing notices before year end. For 1940 filers, both methods may be approved on exam, limited to those with many extended accounts. The reasonable reserve amount depends on total debts, current and prior years, and existing reserve. Returns must show sales volume, reserve percentage, beginning and ending notes receivable, and debts charged to the reserve.
