Notes on the benchmarks

  • Year-1 ranges assume 37% federal bracket and full first-year usability of the loss (REPS, material participation, or active income offset).
  • Reclassification % is a property-type aggregate; finish-level and age move properties within the range.
  • Benchmarks based on completed studies through 2026, calibrated quarterly.
