Cost Segregation: How It Works

Cost segregation flips the depreciation script on commercial buildings by singling out certain aspects of the structure that are eligible for a much shorter depreciation life. Typically a building may be depreciated over a 39-year lifespan. Cost segregation instead breaks down the components into groups that qualify for a 5-, 7-, and 15-year depreciation life. Examples of things that would fall into the 5- and 7-year group include flooring, lights, and electrical work, among other items.

Every qualifying component then goes through detailed engineering analysis to ensure proper classification and cost allocation to the components. By strategically timing these depreciation events, you gain the benefit of accelerating your federal tax depreciation and receive immediate tax advantages while remaining 100% compliant with federal tax regulations.
