In order to determine if your property is eligible and ensure your assets are assigned to their respective recovery periods, a cost segregation study is needed.A cost segregation study is a strategic tax planning tool that separates the assets that have a shorter useful life and can be depreciated over 5, 7 and 15 years from the residential rental property or nonresidential real property that are depreciated over 27.5 and 39 years, respectively.
