Frequently Asked Questions

What is cost segregation and how does it apply to warehouses and distribution centers?

Cost segregation is an IRS-compliant tax strategy that reclassifies components of your warehouse such as loading docks, electrical systems, site improvements, dock levelers, and specialized lighting, from the standard 39-year depreciation schedule into 5-, 7-, or 15-year categories. This accelerates your deductions, reduces taxable income in the near term, and significantly improves your property's cash flow.
