Lane Baker Cost segregation study/bonus depreciation question
12 November 2025 | 14 replies
It works by breaking down your property into parts with shorter depreciation lives, like flooring and appliances, so you can deduct those faster.If you bought in 2020 or 2021, you can still do this now using Form 3115 to catch up on missed depreciation in one year instead of amending past returns.

However, Even though the property is in service in 2025, you could still do a cost segregation study in 2026 and make a Section 481(a) adjustment to catch up missed depreciation......Anthony,as a tax professional, I'm confirming what Brian said.You will need to use the procedure he mentioned which involves completing Form 3115, as opposed to filing an amended return for 2025.

George Red Tenant gave 30 days, refusing to pay last month rent, saying use security deposit
10 November 2025 | 9 replies
Lessons learned on my side and for anyone that might come across this in the future, amending my process per below.* When a tenant gives notice, send a formal letter detailing that security is not to be used as last months rent and informing them eviction process will commence if last month not forthcoming.* Ensure them that security deposit (minus expenses) will be repaid within 7 days (much faster than statute) so they know we're on the up and up too.* Try to do a preliminary walkthrough prior to them moving out so if they want to fix/patch anything prior to the final move out, they can.Lessons learned and thanks for the advice all.
