Cost segregation isn’t just for the big corporations. At WeIncentivize, we make advanced tax strategies accessible to everyday property owners. Our team of cost segregation consultants delivers detailed studies that help you save now and scale smartly, without cutting corners.

What is Cost Segregation?

Cost segregation is a smart tax strategy that helps building owners maximize their savings. Instead of treating the whole building as one item for tax purposes, it breaks it into smaller parts like lighting, flooring, and air systems. These parts wear out faster, so they can be written off quicker, usually in 5, 7, or 15 years instead of 27.5 or 39 years.

This helps you get bigger tax deductions early on. That means lower taxes now and better cash flow for your business. It doesn’t create new deductions—it just moves them to the start of your ownership period.

What is Cost Segregation Study?

A cost segregation study is a thorough analysis that uncovers hidden tax savings within your building. Experts look at your property’s structure, materials, and costs to separate fast-wearing parts like fixtures, wiring, or parking areas from the main building.

The study gives you a clear breakdown of each part’s value and how it should be taxed. It also includes full documentation to stay IRS-compliant. With this report, you don’t just guess your savings — you prove them.

It’s a smart step for any property owner who wants to improve cash flow, plan ahead, and get the most from their real estate investment.

FAQs - Cost Segregation

What’s the primary benefit of a cost segregation study?

Cost segregation study helps you to accelerate depreciation and reduce your taxable income. This means more cash flow in the early years of property ownership.

Is my property a good fit for cost segregation?

If you own a commercial, industrial, or rental property that was purchased, built, or renovated after 1986—and it’s worth at least $500,000—there’s a good chance it’s a fit. Want to be sure? We offer a free assessment to check your eligibility.

Is cost segregation only for large corporations?

Not at all. Cost segregation benefits businesses of all sizes. Even small to mid-size property owners can see significant tax savings.

How long does a cost segregation study take?

Most studies are completed within 4 to 6 weeks, depending on the property’s size and complexity.

Is cost segregation IRS-approved?

Yes. Cost segregation is fully recognized and supported by the IRS, as long as it follows proper guidelines and documentation standards — which our studies always do.

What documents are needed to start the study?

We typically need construction invoices, property blueprints, cost breakdowns, and asset information. If you’re unsure, our team will guide you through the process.

Can cost segregation be done on older properties?

Yes. As long as the property was placed in service after 1986 and is depreciated under MACRS, a study can be done—even retroactively.

Do I need to amend previous tax returns to benefit?

Not necessarily. You can "catch up" on missed depreciation using IRS Form 3115 without amending prior returns. We handle this as part of our service.

Which properties gain the most from cost segregation?

Office buildings, retail spaces, apartment complexes, hotels, warehouses, and medical facilities are just a few examples. Virtually any income-generating property can benefit.
