Cost Segregation Studies for Real Estate Investors & Business Owners
A Cost Segregation Study is one of the most powerful tax strategies for real estate investors, developers, and business owners looking to legally reduce their tax burden. By reclassifying building components into shorter depreciation lives (5, 7, and 15 years instead of 39 or 27.5 years), you can unlock massive upfront tax deductions and improve cash flow immediately.
At PacificWestTax, our CPA team provides fully documented, IRS-compliant cost segregation studies designed to withstand audit scrutiny and maximize your savings.
