Cost Segregation StudyPrepared for James & Laura Whitfield
Delivered
May 8, 2026
This engineering-based cost segregation study identified $195,000 of the property's depreciable basis eligible for accelerated depreciation under MACRS. The reclassification is projected to generate $44,928 in year-one tax savings and a $250,492 cumulative benefit over the first five years of ownership.

Prepared to the
IRS standard.
IRS-aligned methodology makes an audit unlikely. If one happens, every deduction is fully substantiated.
IRS Audit Techniques Guide
Our methodology is aligned with the IRS Cost Segregation Audit Techniques Guide — the same standard examiners use to evaluate studies. Every component classification traces back to an engineering-based approach.
MACRS-Aligned Schedules
Depreciation schedules follow MACRS recovery periods: 5-year personal property, 15-year land improvements, and 27.5-year structural remainder. Each component is assigned to its correct class life.
$1M E&O Insurance Per Study
Every study we deliver is backed by $1M in Errors & Omissions coverage. If an IRS examiner questions a study, the documentation and the insurance both stand behind it.
Component-Level Substantiation
We don't estimate. We calculate. Every dollar of reclassified basis is substantiated at the component level — roofing, flooring, cabinetry, landscaping — with RSMeans cost data as the foundation.
This is where your tax savings come from.
Most of your property depreciates over 27.5 years. A cost segregation study finds the parts that don't have to.
Not all studies are created equal.
DIY software won't survive an audit. A traditional firm takes six weeks and costs twice as much. Segmint provides audit-defensible quality — in 24 hours, at a fraction of the cost.
