What is cost segregation?
And why is it worth so much?

The IRS lets you depreciate your building over 27.5 or 39 years. That's a long time to wait for your tax deductions.

But here's what most property owners don't know: up to 40% of your property qualifies for MUCH faster depreciation — 5, 7, or 15 years instead.

A cost segregation study identifies every component that qualifies — from electrical systems to flooring — so you can take massive deductions NOW instead of waiting decades.

And with 100% bonus depreciation restored permanently, you can deduct the entire accelerated amount in Year 1.

Without Cost Segregation
27.5–39 years of small deductions
Year 1 Year 10 Year 20 Year 39
With Cost Segregation
Year 1: Massive deduction
★ Year 1
100% Bonus Depreciation = Full deduction in Year 1

Hand the report to your CPA. They file it with your tax return. You keep $50K–$200K+ that would have gone to the IRS.

Savings start immediately

100% bonus depreciation
is back — permanently.

Congress has restored 100% bonus depreciation with no expiration date. That means you can deduct the full accelerated amount in Year 1 — not spread over 5, 7, or 15 years.

Every year you wait is money left on the table. Properties you already own are losing value through slow depreciation right now. A cost segregation study captures those deductions immediately.

Frequently asked questions

It's a detailed engineering analysis of your property that identifies components eligible for faster tax depreciation. Instead of depreciating your entire building over 27.5 or 39 years, a cost segregation study reclassifies up to 40% of your property into 5, 7, or 15-year categories — dramatically increasing your tax deductions now.
No. Cost segregation studies are IRS-encouraged and have been upheld by the Tax Court repeatedly. Our studies follow all IRS guidelines and court-approved engineering methodologies. Plus, every study includes audit defense support at no extra cost — so if the IRS ever has questions, we're right there with you.
No. You can do a cost segregation study on a property you just purchased, one you've owned for years, or even one you've recently renovated. For properties owned for more than a year, we can capture previously missed depreciation through a "look-back" study — without amending past returns.
Just the basics: your closing statement (HUD-1), purchase price, and basic property details like square footage, year built, and property type. We'll walk you through everything — most clients have what they need within minutes.
Simply hand the completed study to your CPA or tax preparer. They'll use it to update your depreciation schedule on your tax return. It's a straightforward process that any tax professional will be familiar with. Your savings will be reflected on your next filing.
No problem. We work with a network of experienced CPAs who specialize in real estate taxation. We'll connect you with a qualified professional who can file the study with your return and maximize your savings.
