    Love this! Thank you. Is bonus depreciation essentially the same thing as cost segregation?

      They're different.

      Bonus depreciation relates to a current tax code that allows assets with lives of <20 years to be expensed year 1.

      Cost segregation break out compotents of a building into smaller parts (flooring, windows ect) which allow them to qualify for bonus depreciation.

      With out cost seg a building's life is 27.5 or 39 if commercial and wouldn't qualify
