Corporations cannot have tax-free dissolutions so what you are describing is a taxable event. Whether it is a taxable gain depends on your basis and the current fair market value of the assets. If it is a related corporation and the assets are worth less than their adjusted basis, you might not be able to take the loss at this time. If you are planning to borrow against the assets, you will need a clean paper trail that shows the transfer. You will probably want to do a Bill of Sale to document it. Any lender will do a UCC search to see if there are any liens on the assets. If liens are on the assets, they will need to be cleared before you transfer the assets.

After deciding I was tired of looking at Thousands of dollars of inventory sitting in my house, I decided (on a whim) to donate all of it to a large local womens shelter/rescue mission.

Q. If I had $10,000 in income at the end of a year, which would be wiser to do. (1) Purchase more inventory and if so, would I have to pay taxes on that? (2) Pay taxes on the income. (3) Purchase assets? This is based on a company in Florida which buys and resales merchandise that is shipped mostly out of state.
