Here are some examples of the recovery periods from the IRS 996 Publication:5-year Property: Automobiles, qualified technological equipment, office equipment (copiers, calculators, etc.), appliances, carpet, and furniture used for residential real estate.7-year Property: Office furniture and fixtures (desks, filing cabinets, safes)15-year Property: Certain improvements made directly to land or added to it (such as shrubbery, fences, roads, sidewalks, and bridges)There are multiple approaches to cost segregation studies including the Detailed Cost Approach, Detailed Cost Estimate Approach, Survey Approach, Residual Estimation Approach and Sampling Approach.If you feel like you or your business could benefit from a cost segregation study, first speak with your accountant to see if the tax savings outweigh the potential costs.
