Maximize Your Tax Savings with Expert Cost Segregation Studies

Accelerate depreciation. Boost cash flow. Reduce tax liability.

What Is a Cost Segregation Study?

A cost segregation study is an IRS-approved tax strategy custom-designed to assist property owners in terms of unlocking hidden real estate tax savings. Instead of depreciating an entire building over the standard 27.5 years for residential or 39 years for commercial properties, a humble cost segregation analysis breaks the property into individual components.

Items like lighting systems, flooring and HVAC units or landscaping are able to satisfy qualifications for accelerated depreciation real estate schedules of 5, 7, or 15 years. Once the mentioned assets are reclassified, property owners can majorly increase early-year deductions, which results in improved cash flow as well as a reduced taxation burden.

The IRS outlines these rules in Publication 946, and once handled by an experienced cost segregation CPA, this strategy can also enable catch-up depreciation on prior-year projects. This makes it a powerful taxation strategy for property owners who are looking for options in terms of optimizing commercial property depreciation along with overall returns.

Benefits of a Cost Segregation Study

A cost segregation study is able to transform the way property owners approach depreciation context and tax planning concepts. By identifying and reclassifying assets for accelerated depreciation real estate schedules, it establishes immediate and long-term advantages:

Accelerated Depreciation

Qualifying components, like lighting and flooring or HVAC systems, can be repositioned into shorter recovery periods of 5, 7, or 15 years rather than the standard 27.5 or 39 years. This approach speeds up commercial property depreciation and increases deductions earlier.

Immediate Cash Flow Increase

Larger early-year deductions put more money back in the pocket, presenting the capital needed for reinvestments, property improvements, or business growth.

Reduced Federal and State Tax Burden

Optimizing depreciation schedules lowers taxable income, resulting in meaningful real estate tax savings each year.

Catch-Up Depreciation Opportunities

Leveraging IRS Form 3115, property owners are able to claim unrecognized depreciation from past years in a single adjustment which unlocks major one-time savings.
