Last questions, answered.
What exactly do I get?
A 40+ page cost segregation report your CPA can use immediately. Includes:
- Asset reclassification (5, 7, 15-year property)
- Depreciation schedules
- Detailed supporting documentation aligned with IRS guidance
This is the same type of report traditional firms deliver — just faster.
How accurate is this if I haven’t added everything yet?
You’ll get a complete report immediately, and you can:
- Upload photos
- Add details
- Refine inputs
after checkout. We’ll update the report at no extra cost.
Most customers improve their results by adding details after.
Will my CPA actually accept this?
Yes — the report is structured to match IRS guidance and standard depreciation rules. Cost segregation follows MACRS classification rules and IRS frameworks like Revenue Procedure 87-56, which defines asset lives and depreciation treatment.
If your CPA has questions, we’ll revise or clarify anything needed. View a sample report →
What if my CPA doesn’t use it?
If your CPA can’t use the report, we’ll make it right. No one should pay for something they can’t use — that’s the CPA-Ready Guarantee.
How long does this take?
Most reports are delivered in under 1 hour. Traditional firms typically take 4–8 weeks.
Is this actually legit?
Yes. Cost segregation is a widely used tax strategy that accelerates depreciation under IRS rules, moving assets into shorter recovery periods like 5, 7, and 15 years instead of 27.5 or 39 years.
This isn’t a loophole — it’s a classification method. See our IRS-aligned methodology →
Can I use this on a property I already own?
Yes. This is called a lookback study. You can:
- Catch up missed depreciation
- Take a large one-time deduction
- Without amending past returns
What happens if I get audited?
Cost segregation is an IRS-recognized practice — the IRS publishes a Cost Segregation Audit Techniques Guide that examiners follow. Our reports are built to align with it: detailed asset breakdowns, MACRS classification, depreciation schedules, and supporting documentation.
If you’re ever audited, we provide free supporting documentation and clarifications to help you and your CPA respond. See our audit-defense scope →
What if my CPA wants something changed?
Free revisions, no time limit. If your CPA asks for a different classification, a clarification, or additional detail, we revise the report at no additional cost.
If your CPA ultimately decides the report isn’t usable, the CPA-Ready Guarantee applies: full refund of the study fee. No deadlines, no hoops.
Does this work for a short-term rental?
Yes — STRs are one of our most common use cases. Cost seg combined with the STR loophole (material participation + a 7-day average stay) can offset W-2 income, not just passive rental income.
STR reports include furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) breakdowns and apply a higher 5- and 7-year accelerated mix consistent with how STRs are actually used. See a sample STR report →
Do I need a site visit?
No. We use property data and your inputs to produce a detailed report. You can optionally upload photos to improve accuracy.
