Cost Segregation Studies

Initiating a cost segregation study is a valuable and effective way to increase tax deductions and reduce taxable income. Our professionals often turn to this option when a client is constructing a new building, renovating or expanding an existing building, making leasehold improvements or acquiring real property and land improvements. As our team studies the components of your project, Weaver properly allocates the construction costs between real property and personal property which often depreciate at different rates.

Benefits of a Cost Segregation Study

Cost segregation studies can be used to determine the correct tax units of property prescribed in regulations and to identify components of buildings and leasehold improvements in case of future repairs, partial dispositions and retirements. In addition to providing tax savings, cost segregation studies also help:

• Accelerate depreciation
• Allocate construction indirect costs
• “Catch-up” missed, prior year deductions by filing Form 3115, Application for Change in Accounting Methods
• Identify units of property for future repairs and dispositions
• Optimize gain deferral in opportunity zones
• Reduce REIT taxable income and helps manage distributions
