Thanks to the Cost Segregation Study, the property investors accelerated the depreciation that the first year depreciation was approximately $1,629,844.Through the cost segregation study, they were able to reclassify approximately $2M to a 5 year useful life, $2.35M to a 15 year useful life.The use of the accelerated depreciation strategy helps real estate investors to reduce the tax liability immediately which therefore increases their bottom line due to the offsetting of income.

I never bothered with logging my time (because it was a hassle and I didn't think it would be much benefit) but now I'm realizing that I can't contribute to my Roth SDIRA anymore because all my income is passive.
