Savvy real estate investors often focus their efforts on minimizing their tax liability by taking advantage of certain tax strategies within our tax law. Cost segregation is a strategic tax planning tool that has the potential to shelter taxable income by depreciating certain components of a property at an accelerated rate.

Each study involves:

  • Identification of all non-structural and land improvement costs & other tangible personal property assets.
  • Categorization of these costs in accordance with applicable asset classification guidelines incorporating the most favorable depreciation lives & methods.
  • Development of proper documentation for taxing authorities & management purposes.
  • Preparation of additional management information to help you enhance cash flow, reduce certain costs, qualify for various incentives & gain greater control over expenses.

How the Tax Cut and Jobs Act changed Cost Segregation

The Tax Cut and Jobs Act (TCJA) added several provisions to the IRS code including the Section 179 deduction, which allows business owners to take a bonus depreciation of 100% for qualified assets in the first year (as defined by a cost segregation study) rather than depreciating the assets over a longer period of time. This 100% bonus deduction is only available until 2022 and will then be slowly phased out until it is completely gone by 2027.
