Cost Segregation is a tax planning strategy that can provide companies and individuals who have acquired, constructed, or renovated real estate assets with increased cash flow by accelerating depreciation deductions and reducing or deferring federal and state income taxes.

Cost Segregation is an engineering analysis of real estate assets performed to identify and segregate the costs associated with components that can be depreciated more quickly for federal and state income tax purposes. Typically, real estate assets are depreciated over 27.5- or 39-years for tax purposes. The primary purpose of a Cost Segregation analysis is to identify those assets which are properly depreciated over 5-, 7-, or 15-years and are eligible for additional first year bonus depreciation. Depending on the type of real estate asset, as much as 20% to 50% of the cost may be eligible for accelerated depreciation. By identifying and accelerating depreciation deductions associated with these assets, Cost Segregation provides increased depreciation deductions, which can decrease federal and state income taxes and increase cash flow.
