Deduction for Bad Debts Under State Income Tax No 7-C
Bad debts affect many taxpayers returns and may be deducted in two ways either by reducing gross income for debts deemed worthless or by a reserve for bad debts. The reserve method requires approval and is limited to taxpayers with many extended accounts. A taxpayer may deduct only after the debt is determined worthless within the year and charged off if books are kept. Authorities emphasize showing charge sales, reserve percentage, beginning and ending notes receivable, and total worthless debts. Court action is not required. Partial loss deductions may be taken before total worthlessness if a debt will not be paid in full at maturity.

Majority Rules By Rule In House Debates His Modern Tactics
Wane Trayboot les and Oxts By Wackert Plummer Washing o Speaker Rainey and the other house Democrats have set a new standard in manipulating rules to advance administration favored measures. Rainey’s showcase was shelving the independent offices appropriation bill by sending it back to the sub committee. The tactic, largely forgotten, caught Republican leader Bert Snell off guard. Lewis Deschler, 29, the house parliamentarian, has guided three Speakers in shaping the Democrats approach and likely alerted Rainey to the forgotten rule used in referring the bill.
