Get a huge tax refund from accelerated depreciation deductions!

Most investors love the fact that they get depreciation deductions. Did you know that you may be incorrectly calculating your depreciation deductions costing you thousands in overpaid taxes? If you'd like to get back your overpaid taxes the IRS allows you to correct your depreciation deductions with an engineered cost segregation study. 

Segregation Holding is a specialized tax engineering firm made up of construction engineers and architects trained in cost segregation that exclusively perform engineered cost segregation studies. We work with you and your CPA to maximize your tax benefits through cost segregation. We perform these studies for all types of investors and business owners who own commercial property, rental property or leasehold improvements. 

Most commercial properties depreciate over 39 years, and rental properties depreciate over 27.5 years. Most investors depreciate the entire building using the straight line method over 39 or 27.5 years. Cost segregation allows building owners to separate out building components, personal property and land improvements and depreciate the building components at 39 or 27.5 years while depreciating the personal property at 5 or 7 years and land improvements at 15 years. If the building or improvements have been placed in service since January 1, 1987 the property generally qualifies for cost segregation. If the property was placed in service in a prior year the IRS allows you to take all the depreciation you would've had in prior years due to a catch up provision. These increased depreciation deductions can lower or eliminate federal income taxes or even result in a tax refund! 

We have worked with all types of investors and business owners from small real estate investors with rental properties under $100K to owners of large apartment complexes to restaurant owners to dental office owners to large manufacturing firms. We have completed over 13,700 studies since 2004 and have saved our clients billions in taxes. 

Segregation Holding guarantees at least $10,000 tax refund or tax credit resulting from our studies on properties over $200K cost basis less non-depreciable land value. We also guarantee a 500% ROI in tax savings vs our fee on properties over $500K cost basis (less land), and guarantee a 300% ROI on properties over $200K cost basis (less land). While we guarantee these minimum ROIs our clients enjoy an average 1276% ROI and we have never had to use our guarantees.

If you own commercial property, rental property or leasehold improvements with cost basis over $200K or even a portfolio of 5+ smaller properties please contact me for details on how cost segregation can help you get a large tax refund or tax credit!
