Why it matters here
Why cost segregation pays off in Donley 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 Clarendon 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.
- Audit-defensible. We build every study to IRS Pub 5653 quality. That means photos, cost detail, and the engineering 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.
