You collect rent now and write the building off over decades
Your rental property turns a profit, and you pay tax on it each year. Without a cost segregation study, you write off the whole building over 27.5 years. As your cost segregation CPA, we prepare the study and make sure your return reflects it. You then write off parts of the property, such as appliances, carpet and paving, over 5 to 15 years.

Faster write-offs with a cost segregation CPA
1. Snap photos and find your closing papers
Upload the closing statement and clear photos of the whole property, inside and out. Add last year's return and invoices for any upgrades.
2. We check what qualifies for faster write-offs
We review your papers and photos for every cost eligible for a shorter write-off period under IRS rules. We document each one for your file.
3. Ready for your tax return
You receive the full study and its records, ready for us or your own preparer to use on your tax return.
I was referred to Dave Alexander's accounting firm by the owner of an HVAC company. I was very impressed with the efficiency, professionalism, and cost of my complicated tax return. Sandy did a great job reviewing and entering all my organizer information and the resulting returns after Dave's review, were accurate. I am a happy business and personal client.
