NTG Mutual Section 174 Coverage 2024
What is Section 174 Coverage?
The change in accounting under Section 174 stemming the expiration of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017
(TCJA) is affecting thousands of businesses across the country. Congress was considering reverting the law
back to the prior application pre-2017 but the Senate has yet to address the problem. Consequently, our
program allows a business the ability to address the risk associated with the uncertainty in the current legal
landscape specifically with regard with amortized R&D expenses. We are able to use insurance coverage to
manage your risk and at the same time create additional cash flow to offset the adverse consequences
associated with the change in law.
How Does it Work?
NTG Mutual uses your prior and current year Qualified Research Expenses (QREs) to establish a baseline for
your custom risk profile. From there we are able to develop a premium model which will ensure compliance
with the accounting method change law that is fully funded. 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
