How Does A Cost Segregation Study Work?

Most buildings are depreciated over 27.5- or 39-years. A cost segregation study re-categorizes a portion of your building into 5-, 7- or 15-year class lives. When the usable lives of these items are accelerated, your income is reduced, thus, reducing your income taxes.

What Is Cost Segregation?

Cost Segregation is an application by which commercial property owners can accelerate depreciation and reduce the amount of taxes owed.

A cost segregation study is a federal income tax tool that increases your near-term cash flow in the form of a tax deferral. In a study, the parts of your building that qualify for shorter recovery periods are identified, quantified, and classified to produce additional depreciation deductions which reduce the amount of taxes owed.

Why Should I Perform A Cost Segregation Study?

Without a study, your tax professional will only be able to accelerate certain assets. A cost segregation study provides your tax professional with accurate engineering-based information to establish 5-, 7-, 15-, and 27.5- or 39-year depreciation schedules. When these schedules are applied, there are substantial increases tax savings in the earlier years of owning your property.
