What is Cost Segregation

How You Save with Cost Segregation

Turn 27.5–39 year depreciation into 5–15 year write-offs—and with 100% bonus depreciation back in 2025, capture those deductions in year one.

IRS allows accelerated depreciation on qualifying building components from standard periods (27.5 years for residential, 39 years for commercial) down to 5, 7, or 15 years. Get immediate tax deductions and improved cash flow without changing your total depreciation amount.

Example Savings

Standard Approach

$1,000,000 Commercial Property

• Depreciated over 39 years
• Annual deduction: ~$25,640
• Year-one tax savings: ~$8,970 (35% rate)

Recommended

With Cost Segregation

Same $1,000,000 Property

• ~30% reclassified to 5, 7 & 15-year property
• Year-one deduction: ~$150,000
• Year-one tax savings: $52,500
• Net benefit: $43,530 more cash in year one

Actual results vary by property, structure, and tax situation.

100% Bonus Depreciation is BACK

One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) - Enacted July 2025

Property placed in service after January 19, 2025 now qualifies for 100% bonus depreciation—permanently!

This means you can deduct the full cost of qualified assets in year one when combined with cost segregation.

How It Works

Cost segregation identifies building components that can be depreciated faster (5-15 years instead of 27.5-39 years). With 100% bonus depreciation, you deduct 100% of those reclassified assets immediately instead of spreading them over years.

Example: $1M Commercial Property

Method	Year 1 Deduction	Tax Savings*
Standard	$25,640	$8,974
Cost Seg Only	$109,700	$38,395
Cost Seg + 100% Bonus	$334,125	$116,944

*Assumes 35% combined tax rate

Current Rates

Property Placed in Service AFTER Jan 19, 2025:

100%

Permanent Rate (OBBB)

Property Placed in Service BEFORE Jan 20, 2025:

2023	80%
2024	60%
Jan 1-19, 2025	40%

Why Act Now?

With 100% bonus depreciation reinstated, there's never been a better time for cost segregation. Maximize your deductions while the benefit is at its peak. Plus, OBBB expanded eligibility to include manufacturing buildings!
