A cost segregation study is an engineering-based tax analysis that reclassifies components of your real estate property from 27.5- or 39-year depreciation schedules into shorter 5-, 7-, or 15-year categories. This front-loads your depreciation deductions, reducing your taxable income in the near term and increasing your annual cash flow. Clients typically save 20–40% of their property's depreciable basis in accelerated deductions.
