Cost Segregation Opportunities

Cost Segregation is a tax planning strategy that allows companies to reclassify components of their commercial property from real property to personal property. This reclassification accelerates the depreciation of these assets, resulting in significant tax savings and improved cash flow in the early years of property ownership.

  • Comprehensive Property Analysis

    Our expert team conducts a thorough examination of your commercial property, identifying all components eligible for accelerated depreciation. We use advanced techniques to analyze building plans, conduct on-site inspections, and review historical records, ensuring no opportunity for tax savings is overlooked.

  • Strategic Asset Reclassification

    We skillfully reclassify property components from real property to personal property, adhering to IRS guidelines. This strategic reclassification allows for shorter depreciation periods, typically resulting in significant tax savings and improved cash flow in the early years of property ownership.

  • Retroactive Benefit Capture

    Our cost segregation studies can be applied to properties acquired or improved in prior years. We help you claim missed depreciation deductions from previous tax years without the need to amend tax returns, utilizing a simple IRS form to report the adjustment.

  • Compliance and Documentation Assurance

    We meticulously document all aspects of the cost segregation study, ensuring full compliance with IRS requirements. Our comprehensive reports provide a clear audit trail, significantly reducing the risk of challenges to your tax position and giving you peace of mind.

  • Integration with Tax Planning Strategy

    Our cost segregation services don’t operate in isolation. We seamlessly integrate the results into your broader tax planning strategy, considering factors such as alternative minimum tax implications, passive activity rules, and potential future tax law changes to maximize long-term benefits.

  • Ongoing Cost Segregation Management

    Property improvements and renovations can create new opportunities for cost segregation. We provide ongoing support, regularly reviewing your property portfolio to identify new tax-saving opportunities as your business evolves, ensuring you continually optimize your tax position.

“I’ve been through 10 bookkeepers in 16 years. Indinero is the best we have worked with, and there is no close second. They are the first bookkeeper who successfully set us up for accrual bookkeeping. That seems a real struggle for food service companies because it is a lot of work.”

Clients on Indinero Services

"When I start my next company, I won't hire employees to do my accounting. I'm going to go straight to indinero. It's a higher level of expertise than I could find because I don't have a big enough company for a full-time CFO, controller and bookkeeper. I want people who can do those things and do them well, but I only need them fractionally. I think that's part of why the model works really well."

FAQ About Cost Segregation Services

The most frequently asked questions about indinero and our services.

  • What types of properties can benefit from cost segregation?

    Cost segregation can be beneficial for various commercial properties, including office buildings, retail spaces, industrial facilities, apartments, and even some residential rental properties. The most significant benefits are typically seen in properties valued at $750,000 or more.

  • How do I know if my property is eligible for cost segregation?

    Eligibility depends on factors such as the type of property, its value, and when it was acquired or improved. Generally, if you’ve purchased, constructed, or significantly renovated a commercial property in the last 15 years, it may be a good candidate for a cost segregation study.

  • What is the process for conducting a cost segregation study?

    The process typically involves an initial assessment, followed by a detailed analysis of your property by our engineering and tax experts. We then prepare a comprehensive report identifying assets that can be reclassified for accelerated depreciation, and provide guidance on implementing these findings in your tax strategy.

  • How can cost segregation impact my business's cash flow?

    Cost segregation can significantly improve cash flow by accelerating depreciation deductions. This results in lower taxable income in the early years of property ownership, potentially freeing up substantial cash that can be reinvested in your business.

  • Are there deadlines for implementing cost segregation?

    While it’s ideal to conduct a cost segregation study in the year you acquire or improve a property, studies can be performed on properties placed in service in prior years. There are specific IRS procedures for claiming these “catch-up” deductions without amending prior year returns.

  • How often should we review our cost segregation opportunities?

    It’s advisable to consider a cost segregation study whenever you acquire, construct, or significantly renovate a property. Additionally, changes in tax laws may create new opportunities, so regular consultations with tax professionals are recommended to ensure you’re maximizing your benefits.
