Frequently asked

What is cost segregation?

Cost segregation is a tax strategy that reclassifies parts of a real-estate purchase into shorter depreciation classes (5, 7, 15 years) instead of the default 27.5 or 39 years. That front-loads depreciation, which for a rental property usually means much larger year-one deductions.

Is this accepted by the IRS?

The math — MACRS tables, bonus depreciation under OBBBA 2025, §179, convention selection — is IRS-correct. For tax filings on larger deductions, the IRS expects an engineered study with a documented methodology, which is what our verified-report tier provides.

Do I still need an engineered study?

For substantiating a large cost-seg deduction on your return, yes. The free estimator is for decisions — deciding whether to pursue a study, comparing properties, modeling scenarios. The verified report is what you give to the IRS.

Can my CPA use this?

Yes. The CPA tier is designed for tax professionals managing multiple clients — a single dashboard across all client properties with shared verified reports.
