Description

Cost segregation can be used to generate federal and state income tax refunds by deferring depreciation on certain assets. Nonresidential real property is depreciated over 39 years and residential rental property is depreciated over 27.5. If certain portions can be expensed or the depreciable life of an asset shortened, taxpayers can make depreciation adjustments and possibly achieve optimum tax benefits.

Before considering a cost segregation study, tax professionals, property owners, and investors must understand the ins and outs of cost segregation and the intricacies of current depreciation rules to properly claim the benefits of cost segregation studies and depreciation adjustments. A cost segregation allows property owners to identify components of their property and reclassify them into different asset classes to accelerate each asset's depreciation deductions into the current year.

There are varying methods used for cost segregations and varying professionals are available to perform a cost segregation study. Certain types of businesses, including medical practices, commercial properties, apartments, etc., may have greater savings than others. Property owners and investors need to exercise due diligence before engaging in a cost segregation study.

Listen as our panel discusses the ins and outs of cost segregation studies so tax professionals, property owners, and investors can better determine which properties and businesses are most likely to benefit from a study. The panel will also go through key issues that must be considered, various methods, segregating new and old property, and others.
