Using a mutual insurance carrier which has agreed to write this coverage on behalf of our clients, we are able to place this coverage in 2024 which helps offset current and prior obligations.

Why choose National Tax Group’s Cost Segregation Services?

With the combined expertise of engineers, construction specialists, and accounting professionals, we can handle complex and time-sensitive cost segregation studies. Our main objective is to facilitate maximum tax savings and improve cash flow.

There are many projects that business owners, companies, and individuals can do in order to speed up depreciation deductions.

A property is eligible for a cost segregation study at any time before, during and after a remodel or construction of a property. Through our experience, National Tax Group recommends that the ideal time to complete a study is during the first year a building is constructed, purchased or remodeled. However, a cost segregation can almost always benefit a building owner. For those who are in the works with an architect and are planning a construction or remodeling, the best time to perform a study with us is before the building is set.

Our analysts and accountants will thoroughly evaluate your assets. Then a licensed deduction calculator is used to identify assets that will be segregated. Once the site visitation procedure is complete, the study will take up to 4 weeks to complete.

Projects that are ideal for Cost Segregation Studies include:

  • The construction of new buildings
  • The renovation or expansion of existing buildings
  • The purchase of a building
  • The renovation of a leased building

For federal income tax purposes, building costs are classified into 3 main types:

  • Tangible property
  • Land improvements
  • Real property

How do Cost Segregation Studies work?

  • On-site auditing Service benchmarking
  • Documentation as per  IRS guidelines
  • Tax deduction strategies
  • Appropriate allocation of all indirect costs
  • Identifying substantial amounts of accelerated depreciation
  • KPI measurement
  • Legal compliance
  • Final reports for easy-to-use data for tax planning
