Industry Insights
When should an owner inquire about a cost segregation study?
While studies are possible at any point post-purchase or construction, requesting data during the first year of ownership ensures the largest immediate impact on your taxes. That said, 'look-back' inquiries remain a frequent and effective way to recover lost depreciation from assets bought years ago.
Does using this method invite additional IRS questioning?
This is a standard, approved accounting technique found in official IRS guidelines. When you request a study from Étalon Property, the resulting engineering-based documentation is built to satisfy rigorous standards, providing the necessary technical proof to support your tax positions and withstand any formal information requests.
