Cost Segregation Insights
Did you Know a Cost Segregation Study Could Generate Increased Cash Flow?
Given anticipated IRS scrutiny over cost segregation studies, Andersen has the experience to optimize tax return positions supported by the documentation that is most likely to withstand IRS review.
Cost segregation is a strategy that involves personalized review of each individual property feature to identify potential accelerated depreciation deductions – reducing taxable income in the near term. A study to reclassify building components if you’ve purchased, constructed, or renovated commercial or rental property can result in more liquidity for future investments – and with bonus depreciation still available in 2025 the savings become more powerful.
