Cost Segregation Study Details – Building Purchase (2016) and Improvements (2017): Engineered Tax Services performed a cost segregation engineering review of building components and site improvements on a single story building used as a dental office in Waco, Texas. The cost segregation benefit included a reclassification of 39-year depreciation class life assets into 5 and 15 year class lives, resulting in a combined benefit of $66,661 on 5 and 15 year-assets for the purchase and $610,261 accelerated 5 and 15-year assets on the improvements.
Additionally, ETS’ next generation cost segregation study captured a disposition deduction of $151,967.32 for undepreciated assets no longer in service under the final tangible property repair regulations.
When combined, these additional “next generation” benefits clearly demonstrate why cost segregation has become a powerful tax tool for real estate clients as a result of the final tangible property regulations (T-Regs).
