What we study in Coke County
Buildings we see most in West Texas
West Texas owners often run rentals and service buildings that support the energy and ranching economy.
- oil-field service buildings
- industrial yards and shops
- long-term rentals near the energy corridor
Energy-corridor buildings are full of short-life parts. A study finds them and speeds up the write-off.
Why it matters here
Why cost segregation pays off in Coke County
A normal tax return spreads your building's cost over 27.5 or 39 years. That is slow. A cost segregation study finds the parts of your building that wear out faster. Things like flooring, lighting, special wiring, and land work. We move those into 5, 7, and 15-year classes. You get the deductions sooner.
Texas helps you here in one big way. Texas has no state income tax. So your cost seg savings come straight off your federal return. There is no state add-back to worry about. For a Robert Lee owner, that keeps the math simple and the benefit clean.
- 100% bonus depreciation is back. Under the 2025 tax law (OBBBA), you can write off the short-life parts in year one again. That is a big first-year deduction.
- The short-term rental angle. If you run a short-term rental and meet the rules, the losses can offset other income. A study makes those losses bigger and sooner.
- Form 3115 catch-up. Bought the building a few years back? You do not have to amend old returns. A Form 3115 lets you claim the missed depreciation all at once on your next return. The catch-up package is a separate service: $750 for the standard case (one property, the IRS automatic change, the standard filing that fixes missed depreciation). Anything else, we quote first.
- Audit-defensible. Every report names the method it used and lists the IRS Pub 5653 quality elements it follows. You see the cost detail and the reason behind each number.
- One fixed fee. You know the price before we begin. No surprise bills. No fee tied to how much you save.
