Cost segregation services involve an engineering-based analysis of your real estate property to reclassify building components into shorter depreciation categories — 5, 7, or 15 years — instead of the standard 27.5 or 39 years. This accelerates your depreciation deductions, significantly reducing your taxable income and increasing your cash flow in the near term.
