Is a cost segregation study worth it for your building?
Answer four questions about your property and see an estimated first-year deduction, as a range, before you pay for a study or sit through a sales call.
Four questions to an estimate
- 01
Describe
Property type, purchase date, purchase price and an estimate of land value.
- 02
Classify
The tool applies typical ranges for shorter-lived components in that property type.
- 03
Estimate
The owner sees an estimated first-year deduction as a range, with the assumptions listed.
- 04
Request
If the numbers justify it, the owner requests a study and the details go to your team.
A number you can take to your CPA
A cost segregation study identifies the parts of a building that can be depreciated faster than the structure itself. Whether it pays depends on the property and on your tax position.
The snapshot gives you a range and the assumptions behind it, so the conversation with your accountant starts with something concrete.
In every snapshot
- Estimated share of shorter-lived components
- Estimated first-year deduction, as a range
- Typical study fee range for that property type
- The assumptions used
- Questions to ask your CPA
A range, not a result
Cost Seg Snapshot uses typical allocations by property type. Only an engineering-based study of the actual building determines the real figures.
The estimate is not tax advice. Owners should confirm how the rules apply to them with their tax professional.
Before you ask
Is this a cost segregation study?
No. It is an estimate based on typical figures for your property type. A study examines the actual building.
What does it cost?
The snapshot is free. If you request a study, the provider quotes its own fee.
Which properties does it cover?
Residential rentals, short-term rentals and common commercial types. Unusual properties get a wider range.
When can I use it?
Cost Seg Snapshot is in development. Join the early-access list and we will send your link when it opens.
