Is a Cost Segregation Study Right For You?
If you own commercial real estate, you are likely familiar with the traditional 39-year cost recovery period the IRS assigns to such property. A cost segregation tax study is an IRS-approved method that breaks down the components of a commercial or income-producing property for accelerated depreciation. Completing a cost segregation study, may allow you to depreciated certain assets more quickly, over 5, 7, or 15 years. This allows property owners to significantly reduce their current tax liability and improve cash flow.
