Understanding cost segregation
Not familiar with cost segregation? Here’s a quick overview:
Who Benefits
Owners of commercial, investment, and rental properties looking to maximize cash flow and reduce tax liability.
Why It Matters
It unlocks significant first-year deductions that standard depreciation schedules simply can't deliver.
Here’s a detailed example:
Let’s say a client owns a commercial building worth $1 million. Normally, they would depreciate this property over 39 years, leading to an annual depreciation expense of about $25,641.
With a cost segregation study, we might identify $300,000 worth of the building’s components (like lighting, carpeting, and specialized electrical systems) that can be depreciated over 5, 7, or 15 years instead. Here’s how it could break down:
5-Year Property
$100,000
Certain fixtures and fittings
7-Year Property
$85,000
Office furniture and equipment
15-Year Property
$115,000
Sidewalks and landscaping
Thanks to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, many of these components can be eligible for 100% bonus depreciation, allowing your client to deduct the full value of these components in the first year.
So, instead of a flat $25,641 annual deduction, your client could potentially see over $350,000 in deductions in the first year alone. This leads to substantial tax savings and improved cash flow right from the start.
