Course Description

A Cost Segregation Study dissects the construction cost or purchase price of real property that would normally depreciate over a long period and reallocates costs into shorter tax lives of 5, 7, or 15 years. This session will provide background information, depreciation rules, and how a cost segregation study is performed.

Learning Objectives:


  • Define what cost segregation is, how taxpayers benefit from it, and how it has changed over the years

  • Describe tax issues that should be considered in conjunction with cost segregation studies

  • Recognize the potential impact of cost segregation on estate planning

  • Recall the impact of tax reform on cost segregation

  • List cost segregation opportunities related to the tangible property regulations and disposition regulations

  • Identify new opportunities to immediately deduct abandoned building components, avoid recapture tax, and expense demolition costs
