Ottawa Canada Dear Rose and list:
Check with Humanware as to the period of time the US $2,200 trade-up offer to an Mpower with KDS display from a transplant with Tieman display is good for. If it is essentially a standing offer, you could bank the $500 or so per unit you would pay for a maintenance agreement and either apply it toward the cost of cleaning and repairs or a trade-up. I realize this isn't the answer you were hoping for, but it is better than nothing. In Canada, repairs to access technology are income tax deductible as an Eligible Medical Expense or if the unit is used for business, as a business expense. Not sure about their income tax status in the USA or elsewhere. Interested persons should check with the United States Internal Revenue Service, or the income tax collector in your country. Note that in the USA, state and city or county income tax treatment of repairs to access technology may differ from the IRS treatment. Check with your state, city or county Income Tax Collector for current information. Note that to deduct the cost of repairs if it is an eligible medical expense for IRS purposes, you will need to itemize. This may or may not be beneficial for you. Consult competent financial counsel or an Income Tax Collector nearest you. Brian Brian K.
