Deductions & credits

If you did not take those deduction on previous year returns, you may still file amended returns.  In the year you go out of business, you may write off (deduct)  any remaining depreciation or start up cost amortization.  Unsold inventory may not be deducted, as you still have ownership of it. Inventory sold are reduced prices (going out of business sale) can be deducted. But you have to report the sale proceeds as income
