Many commercial property owners overpay federal income taxes every year because they do not take advantage of allowable depreciation expense deductions.

These accelerated depreciation expense deductions are readily available to all federal taxpayers under existing IRS tax laws.

With an engineering-based cost segregation analysis, the taxpayer is able to take full advantage of the tax law, thus forgoing the significant cash flow remitted to the IRS each year. We utilize IRS-accepted methodologies and existing tax law, revenue rulings and case law to achieve substantial tax saving benefits for clients.

A cost segregation engineering study may be conducted on any building that has been placed in service by a tax paying company that does not show an operating loss.

Great cost segregation opportunities include:

  • New construction and renovations
  • Acquisitions of property
  • Buildings that have been previously placed in service without a cost segregation study and are currently depreciating entirely over 27.5 or 39 years
  • Clients with a large asset base that have numerous small assets (i.e. retailers)
No risk guarantee – At RSI, our clients’ interests come first. We are compensated only after we deliver results. We require no out-of-pocket expense from you to begin your review. If we do not recover or save you money, there is no cost for our service. The only risk to you is not addressing the issues inherent in any payables environment.

Engineering-based cost segregation studies identify and "break out" personal property components and land improvements from the structural building cost. Our engineers go "behind the walls," segregating all possible sub-components that qualify for shorter depreciable lives. We utilize IRS approved construction industry standards in the cost estimations.
