Cost Segregation and Depreciation Methods to Minimize Taxes

Cost segregation is an IRS approved method for accelerating depreciation. The result of doing so is immediate and often very dramatic savings on your federal tax burden.

How does it work?
Your company is allowed to reclassify specific commercial real property assets usually depreciated over a 39 year period (or 27.5 for commercial residential), into “tangible personal property” depreciated over five to fifteen years.

The results: the immediate addition of tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars to your bottom line.

Reclassification of assets is not a new strategy. However, in order to maximize your savings, you need specialists who understand the ins-and-outs of the IRS preferred methodology for creating a Cost Segregation Study. CRG has a network of expert engineers, architects and specialized accounting personnel whose primary mission is to apply the laws, procedures and revenue rulings of Cost Segregation analyses to the best advantage of our clients.
