I count abandoned books when I have read far enough to give it my own rating. If I start it and it just doesn't grab me, I will treat it as a discarded one and not record it.
Edit to clarify: I don't count any of the pages in an abandoned book towards my yearly goal or count it as a completed book, but I do keep track of the book, count it as a started book for the year (start date included, but no finish date since I abandoned it), and add a rating to it in my tracking spreadsheet. For discarded books I just don't add them to my book list at all, although some will stay in my TBR list with a notation that I started it and why I didn't finish if there is a chance I will try it again later.
