What is a cost segregation study?

Quick Answer

A cost segregation study is an engineering-based analysis that reclassifies parts of a real estate purchase (cabinets, flooring, landscaping) from 27.5/39-year to 5, 7, or 15-year property — accelerating depreciation into early years.

Asset reclassification from long-life to short-life buckets.
