"In general, a study by a construction engineer is more reliable than one conducted by someone with no engineering or construction background. However, the possession of specific construction knowledge is not the only criterion."     --IRS Cost Segregation Audit Technique Guide
 


General Information







 
Cost segregation is the IRS approved method of re-classifying components and improvements of your commercial building from real property to personal property. This process allows the assets to be depreciated on a 5, 7 , or 15 year shcedule instead of the traditional 27.5 or 39 year depreciation schedule of real preoprty. Thus your current taxable income will be greatly reduced and your cash flow will increase.
