The fundamentals of cost segregation

Construction assets that can be depreciated more quickly than the standard 39-year process are identified through the tax deferral strategy known as cost segregation. It can highlight significant tax benefits for those who have constructed, purchased, or renovated a structure. https://www.expertcostseg.com/.

Thousands of cost segregation studies have generated hundreds of millions of dollars in federal income tax savings nationwide.

Once the decision to proceed has been made, O’Connor team members will work closely with you and/or your CPA or financial/tax manager to collect existing data and documents regarding the subject property. To prepare your report, an appraiser inspects the property, identifying eligible items, then calculates their value and distributes each to its correct depreciation life, according to IRS rules and Federal Tax Courts decisions.

Next, we issue a final report, providing detailed cost allocations for the individual 5, 7 and/or 15-year classifications, along with the 39 or 27.5 year classifications. The latter are broken out into the nine “units of property” called out in the 2014 IRS Tangible Property Regulations.
