Cost Segregation
A Cost Segregation Study is a tax savings tool that allows previously classified assets subject to 39-year depreciable life for a commercial building and 27.5-year for a residential building to reduce current income tax liabilities by accelerating depreciation deductions for qualifying components. The study identifies assets within a building that can be reclassified into a much shorter depreciation recovery period.
