Cost Segregation Studies

Grant Keppel, CPA

National Director

Cost Segregation Studies (CSS)

What are they?

• Comprehensive analysis of hidden personal

or tangible property for commercial

buildings.

• Analyze cost data including the contractor’s

application of payments (AIA), change

orders, owner incurred costs, and indirect

disbursements.

• CSS is not a component study.

What are they?

• Analyze purchase price of property to

segregate assets from the building cost

• Generally 15-50% of costs can be

segregated to shorter lived assets

• Allows indirect costs to be allocated to

various depreciable lives.

• New buildings under construction

• Existing buildings undergoing renovation

or expansion

• Office leasehold improvements and

“fit-outs”

Applies to What?

• Purchases of existing properties.

• All post - 1986 real estate construction,

building acquisitions or improvements.

Applies to What?

The Evolution of CSS’s

• Pre TRA-86 CSS undertaken to take

advantage of ITC which was only available

on personal and other tangible property

• ITC issues were resolved through IRS

rulings and the courts

• At least 100 IRS rulings/cases on the

subject

• New Ruling in 2008

Benefits of Cost Segregation

Studies

• Increased depreciation

in earlier years and/or

one time catch up in

one year

– results in less federal

and state income taxes

– results in increased

cash flow

HCA Case (109 TC 21 (1997))

• Old ITC case law can be used in

determination of structural component vs.

personal property for purposes of

MACRS.

• Reaffirmed by IRS on its acquiescence.

IRS Revenue Procedure 2008-52

• Allows a one year catch up on missed

depreciation deductions.

• Provides one year “windfall” for those who

where in error the first time

• Generally for buildings purchased or

constructed subsequent to 1986

• No need to amend returns previously filed.

• Automatic Accounting Method Change with

no fee for filing Form 3115.

• Form 3115 must be filed by the tax return

due date including extensions.

• Can provide cash flow windfall even

though the statute of limitations is closed

on the property construction or acquisition

• Two tax years must be filed before

utilization of procedure – No longer.

Bonus Depreciation

• Contracts in 2008 - 2010

• In service in 2008-2010

• 50% in year one – assets with class life of 20

years or less

Connecticut, Prime High-rise
