What Is a Cost Segregation Study?
A cost segregation study, also known as a cost segregation analysis, can best be thought of as a tax optimization strategy for your commercial property. Our team will identify components of your property that qualify to be depreciated over shorter time frames of 5, 7, or 15 years. These components also qualify for bonus depreciation, which currently allows 100% of the cost to be immediately depreciated in the year the property is placed in service, further increasing your savings. Imagine significantly increasing your annual deductions instead of being stuck with a slow 39-year write-off.
But let’s discuss specifics that translate into significant financial savings. Say you own a one-million-dollar office building in Dallas. With standard depreciation, you’d deduct around $26,000 per year. However, a cost segregation study could unlock substantial deductions in the first year, deductions your CPA can estimate based on your specific property. That’s real money you can reinvest in your business, hire new employees, boost your bottom line, or whatever you see fit.
