Cost Segregation Bids: Why Low Price Quotes & High Estimates Are Red Flags

 

 

 

If you are comparing bids on a cost seg study service, you need to know that a dramatically low fee or a wildly higher projected tax benefit should prompt you to ask how the provider arrived at those numbers, as these are often indicators of poor quality or oversimplistic assumptions. Rock-bottom prices often come at the expense of quality and thoroughness, potentially leaving you with insufficient documentation for an IRS audit. Conversely, sky-high benefit projections might rely on overly simplistic assumptions, such as using a generic placeholder for your land value instead of verifying actual values from a property tax card or appraisal.

Engineered Tax Services prides ourselves on a balanced, conservative approach, ensuring our analysis aligns with high standards. By performing a careful benefit analysis and accurately assessing land values, we guarantee the benefits we project are ones you can actually realize. When comparing bids, look beyond the price tag and the bottom line number; consider the methodology, documentation, standards, and the support team to ensure your provider takes all the necessary steps to avoid overestimating benefits.
