How long has Cost Segregation been around with Building Depreciation [ how about since 1962 - 1997 - Present Day ]
I tell them that Cost Seg is as old and James Reid -- and you had never heard of him before this blog entry either had you -- but he too brings SOLUTIONS to help business owners?
> Okay, so that really isnt funny.
Back to the History...
HISTORY OF COST SEGREGATION (see table below)
1962: Cost segregation (or component based analysis) has been around since 1962! That right...47 years ago it was first introduced as a part of the ITC (Investment Tax Credit).
1986: Overturned and at that point only the "deep pocket" companies would ever wade into the cost segregation waters, simply because of the threat of Tax Court from IRS.
1997: a Brand New Day... (HCA ruling opens cost seg ) includes "ALL" commercial property owners. BIG and small....corporate and private. Organized and not so organized.
This "NEW DAY" of cost segregation provides tax savings that could really mean HUNDREDS of Thousands of dollars that can be used to:
- Grow Their Busines
- Buy inventory
- Increase Staff
- Buy more properties
- go on Vacation!
Whatever the owner wants...ITS THEIR MONEY!
-----------------------------------------------------
HOW IT WORK: Building Owners can get a FREE / No Cost analysis of their property, which will tell them clearly the Tax savings they can expect...along with a ROI that should impress
By getting the numbers UPFRONT, it makes this a "Business Decision" and not a "Sales Pitch"

Tax Savings in 2009 - Hotels, Motels, Office and Self Storage
The other challenge when identifying building components for depreciation acceleration is a assigning costs. That's why cost segregation studies require professionals with building, engineering and tax expertise. The key to a valuable cost segregation study is details. The details enable the commercial property owner to maximize benefits (tax reductions) while balancing cost and risk. Though tens of thousands of studies have never been contested by the IRS their are some firms that take short cuts when performing studies. While the cost of the study can be reduced when taking short cuts, the risk is increased that the IRS guidelines will not be met. Not to mention leaving tax benefits on the table or in the walls so to speak.
The difference between a thorough engineering based cost segregation study and a less thorough residual cost segregation study is illustrated in the video <click here>.
From an IRS point of view there is only one method and that is an engineering based cost segregation study that provides details, Details and more DETAILS.
