A cost segregation study is an engineering-based tax strategy that reclassifies components of your real estate property from 27.5- or 39-year depreciation schedules to 5-, 7-, or 15-year schedules. This accelerates your depreciation deductions, reducing your taxable income significantly in the early years of ownership. Ohio property owners typically save 20–40% of their property's depreciable cost, with an average first-year deduction of $171,243.
