Cost Segregation

If you own commercial or residential rental property, you could be sitting on tens of thousands of dollars in unrealized tax savings.

With 100% bonus depreciation back for 2025, cost segregation is one of the most powerful and time-sensitive strategies available to reduce your taxes, increase cash flow, and fund your next property purchase.

At Kaufmann Advisors, we use cost segregation software based on industry-leading construction cost data, combined with nearly 15 years of tax expertise, to get the maximum IRS-compliant results for every client.

What is Cost Segregation

Most property owners depreciate their buildings over 27.5 or 39 years, spreading deductions over decades.

Cost segregation accelerates those deductions by separating building components that can be deducted faster.

That means you get:

• Immediate tax savings instead of waiting decades

• Increased cash flow to reinvest in your business or next property

• Higher ROI on your real estate investments

With 100% bonus depreciation available again for 2025, there’s never been a better time to take advantage.

Why Many Property Owners Miss Out

If you’re depreciating your property as a single asset, you’re giving the IRS an interest-free loan.

Here’s what happens when you skip cost segregation:

• You delay years of deductions you could take right now

• You reduce cash flow for future investments

• You miss opportunities to maximize bonus depreciation

Most accountants simply don’t have the tools or construction data to do this right, however we do.

We combine technology and hands-on experience to deliver the best possible results.

Our process is straight-forward, compliant, and proven:

Property Analysis
We start by collecting key details and information from county level data about the property and improvements.

Building to Land Value
Based on our initial evaluation, if we don't agree with the county assessor's split between the land and the improvements, we may order a real estate appraisal from our network of qualified and licensed appraisers.

Cost Segregation
We use software built on industry-leading construction cost data to identify and reclassify eligible components.

CPA Review
Our experienced team ensures every report is fully IRS-compliant and audit-ready. We run additional stress tests to make sure the final report and cost data is supported.

Tax Filing Integration
We make sure the assets from our report are reflected correctly on your tax returns and combine them with any other strategies from our Tax Advisory System for maximum savings.

Time-Sensitive Opportunity
100% Bonus Depreciation Is Back
