A cost segregation study provides an in-depth, engineering based analysis of the costs associated with the acquisition, construction, or renovation of a building. A properly done study results in additional depreciation deductions and can help to:
- Accelerate depreciation
- Increase current tax deductions
- Defer income tax
- Increase cash flow
Even if you purchased, constructed, or expanded the building in a prior year, a cost segregation study and a simply change in accounting method can allow you to currently claim the depreciation deductions you failed to claim in prior years without having to amend prior-year tax returns.
Teams have the right combination of engineering skills, construction knowledge, and income tax expertise to deliver an independent, third-party report that maximizes depreciation benefits and provides fully documented support in case of an IRS audit.
