Cost segregation evolved as the result of multiple court cases and IRS rulings. The body of knowledge is summarized in the Audit Techniques Guide (ATG), published by the IRS.
Component depreciation was a prior methodology that produced similar results via separating a building into components. These components often included the roof, plumbing, electrical and elevators. There were concerns some investors were using component depreciation in an abusive manner. As a result of the tax law changes in 1986, tax rates were lowered substantially but many tax reduction techniques (such as component depreciation) were eliminated.
From 1987 to 1996, there was a limited ability to depreciate any portion of a real estate separately. Some owners and tax practitioners experimented with assertions that portions of the cost basis were personal property (Section 1245) and not real estate (Section 1250).
The case for differentiating between personal property and real estate was HCA (Hospital Corporation of America). After this case was determined in 1996, the IRS decided not to appeal it. Depreciating real estate offered more potential for tax deductions and tax reductions.
The following is a summary of some of the items prescribed and the depreciable life in years: Vinyl Tile 5 years
Interior Signage 7 years
Parking Lot Striping 7 years
Paving 15 years
Landscaping 15 years
Sidewalks 15 years
Carpet 5 years
The IRS has summarized their portion on cost segregation and its practice in the Audit Techniques Guide. While many real estate investors and tax practitioners are unfamiliar with the tax reduction benefits from using cost segregation, the IRS reports it is appropriate as the most accurate method to depreciate real estate.
Cost segregation produces tax deductions and reduces federal income taxes across the country and in every size market. Below are just a few examples of where cost segregation generates meaningful tax deductions.

Baltimore, MD
Atlanta, GA
Miami, FL

Some of it we’ve heard before: “Hello Mr. Heartache,” for ex… |

Roustabout $9.98 The Elvis formula was well in place by the time of 1964’s Roustabout: a passel of undistinguished songs (anyone remember “Poison Ivy League”?), pretty girls, tight pants, a colorful setting, and a little bit of karate to prove that Elvis really had been studying his martial arts. With that understood, Roustabout is a better-than-average workout for the King–not as peppy as Viva Las Vegas, but a g… |
