I just learned about cost segregation and would like to do it on prior deals. How far back can they be done?You can have a look-back study done on assets acquired as far back as 1987 and claim the resulting write-offs using the 3115 Automatic Change without amending prior-year tax returns. There are diminishing returns to performing a study the longer you own and depreciate a property. Contact us to determine if your property is a fit for a cost segregation study.
-
What types of properties are eligible for Cost Segregation?Any type of income-producing property placed into service after 1986 qualifies for cost segregation. We frequently work on residential such as short-term rentals as well as commercial projects.
-
When should I get a cost segregation study done?The best time to perform a cost segregation study is within the tax year that the building is purchased or construction is completed. If you are planning on renovating your property we recommend performing a cost seg prior to those renovations.
-
What do your services cost?Fees vary based on square footage, property type and complexity. We pride ourselves on having affordable cost segregation studies for smaller properties starting at $1,500.

I planning to sell my property soon. Does a cost segregation study make sense for me?If you are planning to sell the property in a taxable transaction a cost segregation study may not make sense because of recapture. We generally recommend you hold a property for at least 3-5 years. However, if you are planning to enter into a like-kind exchange (non-taxable transfer of your property for another property) you will not have depreciation recapture issues until you sell the replacement property.
